184 lots have no neighborhood on record; they are included in the citywide total (746 homes allowed, 562 net additions).
Zoning capacity, not a feasibility estimate: 4 homes per Neighborhood Residential lot, 6 inside a major-transit walkshed. Net additions subtract 1 assumed existing home per lot; that is an assumption, not a measured count of existing homes. Parks, schools, faith and other civic or institutional land are excluded. Same model as City Stats. Data: King County Assessor, Seattle GeoData.
