† “Poodle” is the breed word rather than a chosen name, so it is not used as the headline above. A breed that clusters in one neighborhood drags its own name along with it, which says more about the name field than about the neighborhood.

About these numbers

From dog license records, not a count of all dogs, and around 80% of New York City dogs are unlicensed. Comparisons use rates per 10,000 licensed dogs in each ZIP code, so a large neighborhood does not automatically look distinctive. A neighborhood where fewer people license their dogs may still be represented differently from one where more people do.
