Geographic Online Address Translator (GOAT)

GOAT allows you to enter a New York City geographic location (such as an address, intersection, street segment, street stretch, block and lot or BIN), and returns related geographic property and political information (such as cross streets, side of street, tax block and lot (AKA Parcel–ID), five-digit ZIP code, census tract and block, police precinct, community district and city council district).

A description of the GOAT functions can be found in the GOAT User Guide. Click on the output field label for its definition in the Glossary. For general questions about GOAT read the FAQ.

New This Release

25A1 - BOE Election & Higher Political Redistricting

Release 25A1 contains revised Election District boundaries that were implemented by NYC Board of Elections. Updated boundaries are effective as of April 1st, 2025.

Changes To Date - 2025

25A - CD Eligibility Values Update

Release 25A includes updated “CD Eligibility” values for census tracts. The values of “Eligible” and “Ineligible” are assigned to tracts that meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) criteria for whether the addresses and blocks contained therein are eligible to receive Community Development Block Grants (CDBGs) from the federal government. For a tract to be eligible, 51% of the residents must be low/moderate income persons (less than 80% of the area Median Family Income), and 50% of its total floor area must be comprised of residential usage.

Updated income data was provided by HUD and residential usage was calculated by the Department of City Planning (DCP) using PLUTO data (24v4).

There are no programming considerations for retrieving the new CD Eligibility values.

Sanborn Deprecation

As a reminder, please be informed that the Sanborn Volume and Page information returned in functions 1A, 2, BL, and BN of the Geosupport System has been deprecated, as no source data is available to maintain a reliable level of accuracy or currency. For now, the field will continue to exist and be populated with data; however, users are hereby advised of the obsolete nature of this data, and the plan to eliminate this field in a future release. Users that rely on retrieving this information from Geosupport should plan accordingly.
