Neighborhoods of Philadelphia Map Quiz

Can you name all of the neighborhoods of Philadelphia?
Neighborhood definitions are flexible, but I think I picked reasonable ones.
I put Elmwood as a larger area because I couldn't find data for exact locations of neighborhoods such as Angora and Mount Moriah (which are mostly run-down, crime-ridden areas anyway).

Ooh, nice quiz! Are there any other "neighborhood" quizzes you're planning on doing? I might try one of these in the future. Not right now because I have other projects, but it might be a good idea to do these types of quizzes for more of the major cities in America (New York, LA, Chicago, San Francisco, etc.).

Thanks! I might if I can find good data on neighborhoods for San Francisco and Brooklyn. I had to fix some maps because they were all inconsistent, and I used my knowledge of my visits to Philly to change aspects of some maps for my final SVG.

I was once planning to do a Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Houston, Phoenix, Manhattan, and DC version... none of them ended up being made.

Take Juniata for Juniata Park. Olde Kensington is not a neighborhood. Either call it Norris Square, or merge it with NoLibs Callowhill and Fishtown. Take Allegheny West for Swampoodle. Consider splitting up the Oak Lanes into west and east. Also take Stenton for Cedarbrook, and split Cedar Park from UCity. Take Parkwood for Parkwood Manor. And maybe a little more time. :) Otherwise great quiz! Getting a favorite.

I grew up in West Oak Lane and it was considered a separate neighborhood from East Oak Lane. Lawncrest is a composite of Lawndale and Crescentville; Levick St is the dividing line. I was surprised at the number of neighborhoods I never heard of even though I've lived in Philly or its 'burbs a long time.
