WaHI stands for "Washington Heights and Inwood," two neighborhoods of Upper Manhattan in New York City. The term was coined by Eduardo Gómez, founder of the WaHI Online community web site, in 2002. The term is commonly used and understood within WaHI Online, but has not caught on widely elsewhere (as opposed to, for example, Hudson Heights, which was chosen by a group of neighborhood activists[1]and is widely cited). This may be because while Washington Heights and Inwood share the distinction of being the northernmost communities of Manhattan (with attendantly lower housing costs), they are very distinct neighborhoods demographically and geographically, and are represented by different district councils seats (District 10 for Washington Heights, 7 for Inwood).
