San Antonio Metro latest stats. Am I seeing things?

The stats look right, look at the map closely near St. Mary's university. Whats up with Google? I didn't know San Antonio had a neighborhood called third world. If we do please fill me in. Go to the 5 mile scale on the map, ninth bar down. There is also a neighborhood called NOPE to the east. I guess the map has some flaws going on.

It would seem Google has added more neighborhoods to the SA map. Many I'm familiar with, some I'm not.

Apparently Google's not the only one. According to Zillow.com (a real estate site) there is indeed a neighborhood called Third World.

Third World Local Community

Population 1,507
Median home price - $90,500

Description:

Quote:
Who lives here?

1. Melting Pot -- Low-income, foreign-language-speaking urbanites.

2. Urban Empty Nesters -- Mature families with grown children

3. One-income Metros -- Single-income families living in the city.

Third World residents are unique because:

1. There's a higher percentage of people who work in installation, maintenance, or repair occupations.

2. There's a higher percentage of people who work in food preparation or serving-related occupations.

3. They walk to work.
I couldn't find a neighborhood called N.O.P.E. on zillow, but on other real estate sites like frontdoor.com there are listings for homes there. HelloSanAntonio.com an online yellow pages and city guide also has a listing and a neighborhood map for N.O.P.E.

I even did an advanced google search "What does N.O.P.E. stand for?" It came back with "Notice Of Potential Eligibility" and Not On Planet Earth.

That last one sounds like my apartment complex.

Note: I'm not saying these neighborhood names are accurate. I'm just pointing out that Google isn't the only one showing neighborhoods by these names.

Wow thats crazy, never heard of a neighborhood named Third World. Shoot I would't want to live in a neighborhood called Third World. I was thinking it may be a typo, and was suppose to be third ward, but never heard of that either.

I'd be more interested in knowing why they think Kelly AFB and Brooks AFB are still around, and why Georgetown gets a big red dot but San Marcos and New Braunfels don't, even though theyre larger population-wise.

I'd also like to know why they don't have UTSA and Government Canyon labeled.
