The plan names the historic inner neighborhoods as Edgehill, Hillsboro-West End, Belmont-Hillsboro, 12th Avenue South, Sunnyside, Richland-West End and Historic Woodland-in-Waverly, and says many suburban neighborhoods with large lots are in Green Hills, including the Lipscomb University area. It has nine urban design overlays, the most of any plan area, among them Hillsboro Village, Music Row and Green Hills.

The plan says nearly half of the land is inside Berry Hill, Forest Hills and Oak Hill, satellite cities with their own planning and zoning. By 2020 Census block counts, residents are spread across ZIP codes 37215 (27%), 37212 (23%), 37204 (17%), 37203 (14%) and 37205 (10%).
