Downtown and Cleveland-Holloway around City Hall, Old North Durham and Duke Park up to Interstate 85, and Northgate Park across it

Downtown and North Durham is our name for all of the city north of Interstate 85 and, south of it, the city east of Duke Street and west of Avondale Drive and Alston Avenue down to the Durham Freeway: 66,788 residents and 30,024 housing units in 2020. Four of its guides are neighborhoods of the City's Neighborhoods layer, a reference map the City keeps for its own work orders with no published date or author, clipped to the current City limits. The fifth, Downtown Durham, is the Downtown Tier of the City-County planning map less the edges of four neighboring guides, because the layer's own Downtown leaves out Brightleaf Square, Durham Central Park and the American Tobacco Campus: 584 acres and 5,622 residents, 3,932 of them inside the Downtown Business Improvement District, which adds 7 cents per $100 to the tax bill, and about 540 of them on two blocks that are not households, one beside the County's detention center. Old North Durham, 1,922 residents on 243 acres, holds 418 in the North Durham-Duke Park National Register district; Duke Park, 1,982 on 430 acres, sits astride Avondale Drive, 1,428 west of it and 554 east; Cleveland-Holloway, 1,122 on 165 acres, has the Cleveland Street and Holloway Street local historic districts and the County's Main Library inside. Across the interstate, Northgate Park is 2,021 residents on 486 acres with Ellerbe Creek through it: 372 live on blocks in the special flood hazard area, and the state's watershed plan for the creek, written about 2003, said floodwaters usually damaged homes there at least once a year. 5 guides are listed below.
