. The list is organized by broader geographical sections within the city. While there is no official list of neighborhoods, districts, and places, this list was compiled from the sources listed in the References and External links sections, as well as from published information from secondary sources. Common usage for Harrisburg's neighborhood names does not respect "official" borders used by the city's police, planning commission or other entities. Therefore, some of the places listed here may overlap geographically, and residents do not always agree where one neighborhood ends and another begins. Some names are past neighborhoods or developments that no longer exist (such as " Hardscrabble"). Historically, neighborhood development has followed ward boundaries, but many neighborhoods and historic districts have been re-shaped by community leaders, the Harrisburg Architectural Review Board, and planning organizations in the post-industrial era.
