Using the coma you have listed may also means that the city may be unknown.
But the use of no coma, tells me that it is in the county and no city is related to this event.

I live in King County, and not any city. I do have a City snail mailing address, in two other cities utilities areas and a county Fire district. I will NOT use any abbreviation or mail code. “NC” is NOT a abbreviation, but a USPS mail code, “N. Car” is the abbreviation. The term "county" is used in 48 of the 50 states; Louisiana is divided into parishes and Alaska into boroughs. Four states use the official title of Commonwealth rather than State. I have a few entries that have Denver in different Counties, because at the time of the event, Denver was in the different county. I would NOT go out and update any “Place” just to please some other group. These groups need to get “with it” and use the Place name at the time of the event. Remember that it is these same groups that insist each person is born of a Husband and a Wife!

So, it has to have 3 parts like ", Guilford, NC" (notice the leading comma that indicates place-holder for the missing city.

Some, such as Guilford Co., NC or , , , Alabama or , , Fluvanna County, Virginia, it does nothing at all. I have the configuration: Action to take = expand large location and expand short location Records to change -= all locations in list Parts to work on + USA state names Add United States is checked.
