I tend to think of the GNIS hamlets as small

most of them are housing developments,

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

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
