Middle residential area
neighborhoods with housing that is neither the most expensive nor the least expensive, featuring moderate home sizes, a mix of housing types (like single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments), and access to average or basic amenities such as parks and community centers.
Low residential area
geographic locations where the majority of households have below-average or significantly low incomes, typically characterized by lower property values, smaller homes with fewer amenities, and limited access to quality services like education and healthcare.
Heavy Industrials
a sector of manufacturing that produces large, heavy products using massive machinery, large facilities, and complex, capital-intensive processes

Outlying business disstrict
An outlying business district (OBD) is a commercial center located away from a city's traditional central business district (CBD).

Commercial areas
zones in cities or towns specifically planned and designated for business activities rather than residential use.
