Fuzzy matching sometimes produces the wrong results

[Nik4002]

Although fuzzy string matching works most of the time, it occasionally matches to the wrong result. For example, if I run acs.from_place("Honolulu, HI", place_type = "Census Designated Place), CenPy will give me data for East Honolulu CDP instead of Urban Honolulu CDP, which is Honolulu's full name in the eyes of the Census.

I think this happens due to the string matching score, which selects the string with the highest percentage match. We'll likely improve the fuzzy match method in future releases, and I'll return here with updates when this is done.
