Does this describe a specific neighborhood?

These figures cover Augusta-Richmond County consolidated government (balance), Georgia. City boundaries, ZIP codes, school attendance areas, and named neighborhoods can differ.

Differences between survey estimates can fall within their margins of error; the comparison does not rank which place is best.
