New York City Parking Meter Rate Zones

NYCDOT sets parking meter rates across the five boroughs to be reflective of individual neighborhood parking conditions. The dataset represents individual rate zones by large geographic areas. It was last updated on April 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map rate zones by borough using the `boro_name` and `the_geom` columns for spatial visualization.
• Analyze the distribution of parking zones across boroughs by joining `boro_code` with `Zone` identifiers.
• Calculate the total area covered by different rate zones using the `Shape_Area` attribute for policy assessment.

Strengths

• Contains geographic geometry data (`the_geom`) for spatial analysis.
• Covers all five boroughs of New York City (`boro_name`).
• Includes distinct zone identifiers (`Zone`, `Rate_Zone`) for categorization.

Limitations

• Sample data is unavailable for previewing record values.
• The dataset size and total row count are unknown.
• Individual rate zones are represented by large geographic areas, which may lack granular street-level precision.
