The Raleigh Neighborhood Registry (RNR) is a list of groups in the City of Raleigh and its extraterritorial jurisdictions. The list was started in 2002 by the Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division to boost the involvement of residents within their neighborhoods and strengthen their community fabric.
