If you had a lot of people submitting their own version of the boundaries for the same neighborhood, it would be interesting to create a composite layer. A grid with cells containing the degree of agreement on whether the cell is in or out. When using the data, one could then determine how strong of an agreement was appropriate for their end use.
To get enough data to make this meaningful, it would likely only work for more localized areas. I would bet that based on where one person lives, they may not skew boundaries in equal directions. If I lived in East Dumpsville, I would happily extend the boundary of Prosperous Park over to the other side of my house. If I lived in PP, I don't think that I would map it that far to the East...
