I ran into the same issue with an application I developed. What I had to do was to go as far down the hierarchy as possible, and be satisfied with that. For US locations, AdministrativeArea is the state, and subAdministrativeArea should be the county, but as Andrew said, it is broken right now. I could not go onto the next level because towns with the same name exist in several US locations.
