Marble Hill history, Marble Hill Houses and Metro-North from Wikipedia. PLUTO figures include Manhattan tract 309 (Marble Hill), which NYC Planning assigns to this Bronx NTA. Housing figures computed from PLUTO 26v2 residential units, with lots assigned to this NTA through 2020 census tracts (NYC Planning tract-to-NTA codes); building type uses PLUTO building class (C = walk-up, D = elevator, A/B = one- and two-family). Subway stations placed by point-in-polygon test of MTA station coordinates against the 2020 NTA boundary (data.cityofnewyork.us 9nt8-h7nd); 'just outside' means within about 150 m of the edge. Re-verified 2026-10-12: recomputed every PLUTO 26v2 share from the raw lots (2020 tract-to-NTA codes from data.cityofnewyork.us 63ge-mke6) and re-ran the station point-in-polygon test against the 2020 NTA file. Marble Hill Houses completed 1952 confirmed in the NYCHA Development Data Book; Marble Hill Metro-North station inside the NTA per MTA Rail Stations coordinates.
