I wonder if you could statistically derive this stuff. For example, I
notice that "Palo Alto" is either Peninsula or South Bay on Craigslist,
but not both. Put it in both and see how often it's classified one way
or another?
I bet someone like Citysearch or Yelp could figure this out in a hurry...

Here's an example for Seattle:

It looks like it is produced from Census 2000; and in discussion with
clerks there it appears that this extract can be fetched from them.
The colored polygons are neighborhoods and the larger red outlined
areas are districts. Not sure what the smaller red polygons are;
perhaps lava.

Is there a free database of American neighborhood names and polygonal
boundaries.
To elaborate:
For example San Francisco has neighborhoods like 'SOMA' or 'chinatown'
or 'mission'.
My current need is a neighborhood database for Seattle, of which one
appears here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_neighborhoods
It seems like there may be data behind this - I am about to check if
this is just from some publically available census data like census
2000.
Also,
http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/nmaps/fullcit2.htm
And
http://transit.metrokc.gov/tops/bus/neighborhoods/region_text.html
But generally speaking is there something comprehensive for the entire
United States?
