From the source
each zone polygon's code and by-law · the zone groups, from each by-law's own zone list · the neighbourhood outlines
Derived by MiltonIQ
hectares, from each polygon's outline · the neighbourhood, by the outline containing a point inside each polygon · shares, as a group's hectares over the neighbourhood's zoned hectares
MiltonIQ’s words
the summary sentence
Kept current
A polygon that straddles a neighbourhood line is counted wholly in the neighbourhood holding its interior point. Polygons outside every outline are in no row.

The answer

About 27,071 of the 27,115 hectares drawn on the Town of Milton’s zoning layers fall inside one of 29 neighbourhoods; about 44 hectares sit outside every neighbourhood outline. The groups are each by-law’s own, and the by-laws do not share categories, so a row can mix them. Records checked October 8, 2026.

Method, sources and what is left out

Every zone polygon in the Town of Milton’s zoning layers carries a code; its by-law’s zone list puts the code in a group. MiltonIQ measures each polygon from its outline and assigns it to the neighbourhood whose outline contains a point inside it, so a polygon that straddles a line is counted once. Shares are a group’s hectares over the neighbourhood’s zoned hectares. Where the layer draws one polygon over another, both are counted.

Left out: polygons outside every neighbourhood outline, and roads, which the layers do not zone. The groups are the by-laws’ own headings, not land-use categories: an employment zone can hold offices or a warehouse. The zone pages say what each code is and where it applies; the Town of Milton is the only binding source on one property.
