<div>Thanks for your extremely detailed research Joseph!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have just done some checking around our area & found
that a lot of the place=locality listings should probably be
=suburb or =neighbourhood (& a lot of them were done by
me, so I'll have to go in & fix them all!).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Couple to get an opinion on though, please.</div>

Austinville, which is the area located along the length of
Austinville Road. Austinville is a valid locality name, but
there is no actual spot you can point to & say that's
Austinville - there are no shops, petrol station etc, only
houses / farms & a Community Hall.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What would it be if it's not a =locality? =village /
hamlet / suburb / neighbourhood?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Same thing for Springbrook: <a

which is the area on top of Springbrook Mountain. Once
again, fairly sparsely populated - maybe 500?, but no
distinct centre of town, except one general store, a Primary
School & a handful of cafe's. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are a few others around that are similar - they
have a population, but there are only 100 - 200 people
living in an area of 200+ sq k - seems way to sparse to be
labelled as village or anything similar?</div>

Hamlets too me. <br>
<br>
If it has a store, cafes and a school probably a village? Petrol? <br>
<br>
Does look like place=locality has been a catch all for when mappers
did not know of another more detailed tag. <br>
