Our District
City Council District 14 is home to nearly 170,000 New Yorkers who live in the Fordham, Kingsbridge, Morris Heights, and University Heights neighborhoods. Our community is diverse, with families that have immigrated from over a dozen nations and have lived here for generations. Our people do the essential work that runs our city. More than 20,000 of us work in education, health care, and social assistance, and many thousands more in transportation, construction, food services and retail.
District 14 boasts historic, commercial, and cultural assets—including the Kingsbridge Armory, St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, Fordham Road, Bronx Community College, and many others. An array of community organizations have fought disinvestment and rebuilt our neighborhoods—and continue to make it a place where many can thrive. We have the resources, creativity, and power to address our greatest challenges from the ground up.
