Details

The square tile map was generated using the tilemaps algorithm with square = TRUE, applied to borough groups separately (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn/Queens, Staten Island), then rescaled to uniform tile size and assembled to preserve NYC's overall geographic layout. Island NTAs were added back using tilemaps::create_island() and positioned to approximate their geographic locations.
