When I search for a neighborhood in Google I usually get a preview of that neighborhood on Google Maps in my search results. My question is... where do they get this data?

If it's city / county dependent then is there a good rule of thumb for finding this data?

Here's an example of what I mean:

You can get shapefiles by county, ZIP code and census block from the US Census Bureau.

I'm not sure if this is the same data that Google uses.

Stack Overflow: Where can I find a city/neighborhood database? has good info as well.
