I don't know about free, but I know that Ian White is selling one, and a company that I used to work for compiled their own which they might be willing to license.

Is there a free database of American neighborhood names and polygonal

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?
