Winnipeg Communities are either east of the Red River or West of the Red River, and are further divided by the Assiniboine River west of the Red , and by the massive Transcona raill yards to the east and many have natural boundaries such as roads, railroads, bridges and rivers. 
 
Within the boundaries of Winnipeg are 236 neighbourhoods, which have been geographically defined as the smallest units of division.
Apoproximately 186 of these can be considered residential with the remainder classified as industrial neighbourhoods.
The average population of each of Winnipeg's  residential neighbourhoods is approximately 4,000 people.
