I know it is not very clear as it has different meaning due to different administrative meaning.

Recently, we had a discussion on how to tag Quartier, and it was mentionned that locality is actually a good tag for Quartier. > The main problem in my region is that it seems like I can't use the > population count. > > Biggest town: Ville de Mont-Laurier, population: *13 394, area: > **590,64 km² > Second town: Ville de Rivière-Rouge, population: **4 548, area: > **463,18 km² > Biggest Municipalité: Ferme-Neuve, population: **3 010, area: * *1 > 031,55 km².
