Queens isn't divided into "blocks" as formal administrative units. Instead, the borough comprises 14 community districts, each containing multiple neighborhoods. These districts serve as planning and advisory boundaries for land use, services, and community boards. Neighborhoods like Flushing, Astoria, Jamaica, and Long Island City are the more common way residents and officials refer to areas within Queens. Zoning districts further regulate land use but don't align with a simple "block" system.
