Not that I'm correct, but I still use place=hamlet for apartments and subdivisions since it's a group of people residing in the same organizational entity. Clearly it is not a governmental entity so it doesn't meet the OSM Wiki definition, but it is logically a small town. I just got started by emulating one of the import conventions which had used Hamlets.

Which tools are these? I looked into some confusion over a Nominatum search recently and found that it now seems to exclude all nodes smaller than 'city' from the results hierarchy. I don't know how it treats polygons smaller than 'city' however.
