During the TIGER import, small neighborhoods were imported as hamlets.
I am not sure what this means in rural areas, but in urban places,
hamlets are often just places like apartment complexes, or other
nondescript places.
They don't rise to the prominence of even a neighborhood (putting

Around here they seem to just be somewhat random areas of town. Not formal
neighborhoods or anything. Examples:

It sounds like we want CDPs and not hamlets, although there is some
overlap. What would be ideal would be to remove all the hamlets and import
the CDPs, but we could also just remove all hamlets that aren't also a CDP.

I'm wondering what other people's experience with the hamlets are. Are
they useful where you live? Are they nonsense (as they have been in
NYC and DC)?
I've only seen a few around

In Pennsylvania, Villages are often labeled as Hamlets. These villages
always appear within another municipality (as the entire state is
incorporated). They don't have any legal entity associated with them, and
they are probably becoming less important as suburbs take over the old
farming areas.

Virtually always true, in my experience. However, a hamlet might
find itself inside of an incorporated city limit (say, for historical
reasons).
i think we probably need to specify this.
do we want geocoding to reference postal addresses, e.g.
123 Example Street
Anytown, IA, 12345
to resolve as a proper postal address both forwards and back, or
do we want it to resolve within some recognized boundary for
Anytown? these are different,
Any OSM'ers headed to ISTE next week in San Antonio?
I'll be there for my day job, but would love to meet up with any peeps
interested in extending any of the SotM US and other ed discussions.
Thanks,

Hello fellow OSM-ers,
Well, I really wish I had some better news; I've been meaning to do a
write-up/re-cap of SOTM-US, work with the HOT Activation group (and other
HOT things), and a re-cap/case study of the Black Forest Fire mapping
response. Unfortunately all that will continue to be on

I would say not to touch any hamlets; let the locals fix them up
appropriately.

The map should reflect ground reality, so unless there are hamlets in
these places, we should strive to fix
Great topic Serge. A lot of the hamlets in Baltimore come from platted
subdivision names, that due to extra awesome county GIS agencies that have
been around for 30+ years, were in TIGER in 2000. In my county almost every
subdivision is considered a hamlet, even the ones that are like Walton

Hi,
A few of us were talking about setting up custom highway shield rendering
on the US tile server earlier this week. Because this rendering relies
heavily on route relations (rather than ref tags on the way, as the default
mapnik stylesheet does) we need a better way to track the status of
