What this is

“Planning communities” is the City of Burlington's own word for these areas, and the names and outlines are its own.

What is “in” an area is worked out by BurlingtonIQ from positions: a school, park, facility or planning application is counted where the point its own dataset records falls inside the outline. An area gets a page when at least 3 of them do; the rest are listed without a link.

Not a catchment map. School attendance areas are set by the school boards, and a school inside an outline does not mean it serves the addresses there.


The full list

A linked name has its own page. Counts are of what each dataset places inside the outline.

How this is built

The outlines are the City of Burlington’s Planning Communities (open data layer), read October 8, 2026. Areas are measured from the outlines. The schools, parks, facilities and planning applications counted in each come from this site’s own datasets, each cited on its page; nothing about who lives in an area, what homes cost or what it is like is said here, because no dataset behind these pages records it.

City of Burlington Open Data Terms of Use (September 19, 2011). Data made publicly available by the City of Burlington. Terms. The Terms of Use require redistributed data to carry a copy of, or the URL for, the Terms of Use; the “Terms” link is that URL.
