Outer Richmond (SF Planning's Outer Richmond Analysis Neighborhood) spans the western half of the Richmond District, from Park Presidio Boulevard and 14th Avenue west to the Great Highway and Ocean Beach, and from Fulton Street and Golden Gate Park north to Lake Street and the Seacliff and Lincoln Park areas. It includes the blocks often called the Central Richmond as well as the Outer Richmond proper and the coastal bluffs at Lands End, Sutro Heights, and the Cliff House. About 43,000 people live here.

Housing is dominated by early and mid-twentieth-century row houses and two-unit buildings, with apartment buildings along Geary Boulevard and the avenues near it. RH-2 covers most residential blocks, with RM-1, RH-1, and RH-1(D) areas and RTO-C along transit corridors. Commercial strips are zoned as the Geary Boulevard, Outer Clement Street, and Outer Balboa Street Neighborhood Commercial Districts (NCD), with smaller NC-1 and NC-2 parcels, while parks and coastal land are zoned P. Notable places include Sutro Heights Park, the Sutro Baths ruins, the Lands End Lookout, Cabrillo Playground, and the Anza Branch Library.
