One problem is that 'locality' does not translate well.
I'd think that any admin area would have someone resident in the
area.
So tagging them OSM 'locality' may not be the best?
OSM says 'hamlet ' is less then 100-200 people. think that fits best?
But what do we do when those "few" people are spread out over a
largish area, with no central location?
The area of Lamington in SEQ
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/-28.2351/152.9940, was, I
thought, originally a locality, but is now shown as a hamlet.
Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamington,_Queensland says that in
2011, it had a population of 463 people, but they're spread out over
probably 200km2, if not more?
The "heart" of Lamington consists of 2 camping grounds, 5k apart, one
of which has a cafe / recreation centre (School camping type of
arrangement) next door,
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-28.28710/153.03499, a handful
of B&B's & farms & that's about it.
To me, it should probably be a locality as there's nothing really
there, a hamlet, IMHO, should feature a central clump of at least
some homes / buildings, that you can point to & say "Yep, that's
wherever" :-)
Yep.
Tagging these area with 'place' may suit things where the population
density is high -e.g. Europe - but does not sit well here.
These areas have no real centre.
Should one of these areas be tested by leaving out the place tag and
see what happens?
Looking at the place key https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place
there are also non population specific places that might suit
district?
region?
province?
These don't have good definitions on the OSMwiki.
