Not all US states use the same administrative hierarchy.

Yeah, but for example we use the same admin_level regardless of whether it’s called a county, a borough, or a parish; or a township vs. a town, etc.

When we’re using different words for the same thing[1], there’s no need to differentiate. It’s the thing we care about, not the word used for it.
