a lot of the boundaries in the US are from a mid 2000s dataset. the
newer TIGER
boundary data is generally much improved. however, doing boundary work is
a bit involved, involving converting the TIGER data into something more
useful
for OSM, and then getting the relations right. it's fairly fussy and
detailed work.
i've done a lot of it in Eastern NY.
