Its southern edge follows California Street and Lake Street, and the Analysis Neighborhood also takes in the row of Lake Street blocks that back onto the Presidio east of 25th Avenue. Curving streets such as Sea Cliff Avenue, El Camino del Mar, and McLaren Avenue wind through the core of the area, which is known for large single-family homes and ocean and bridge views. The Analysis Neighborhood counts roughly 2,471 residents in about 1,016 housing units.

China Beach, a small cove reached from Sea Cliff Avenue, is zoned P (Public), and the Lands End and Coastal Trail open space of Lincoln Park lies just to the west.
