From the home office in San Francisco, CA, Umibot unveils the first (of future periodic) installment of Most Common Neighborhood Names in the United States…

  1. Downtown
  2. West End
  3. Midtown
  4. Northwest
  5. Northeast
  6. Old Town
  7. Riverside
  8. Uptown
  9. Central
  10. Highland Park
  11. Southwest
  12. Chinatown

There doesn’t seem to be too much that is surprising here, but it is interesting to note that there are close to 200 instances of Downtown and close to 20 instances of Chinatown. Neighborhood names are truly a long tail!
