Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Verified: Wikipedia defines North Corona as the section north of Roosevelt Avenue; Louis Armstrong House designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 and 34-56 107th St geocodes inside. Northern Boulevard frontage geocodes to East Elmhurst, so the northern edge is about Northern Boulevard. PLUTO 26v2: 40.5% walk-up and 39.4% two-family lots; walk-ups hold 48.6% of 10,078 units. 111 St and 103 St inside; Junction Blvd about 10 m outside. Hinton Park 3.7 ac and Louis Armstrong Playground 1.1 ac. Re-checked 2026-10-12: housing shares recomputed from PLUTO 26v2 (version confirmed via the API) by point-in-polygon against the 2020 NTA boundary (9nt8-h7nd); subway/LIRR stations re-placed from MTA station coordinates (39hk-dx4f, wxmd-5cpm); park names and acreage re-checked in NYC Parks Properties (enfh-gkve); history and boundary statements re-read in the cited Wikipedia articles; landmark addresses geocoded with NYC Planning GeoSearch.
