You did everything correctly as far as OSM data entry goes.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/405322404
You are seeing the "value added" features of the OpenStreetMap Nominatim
service.  The service uses additional GIS boundaries besides OSM data for
the search results.  Hence, "Building 2886, Absher Road, New Eden, Osceola
County, Florida, 34771-9208, United States of America".

As a general comment, postal addresses and local addresses do not have to be 
the same and “often” are not.  Often in quotes because while it is not common 
to have different addresses (city or town name) it certainly is not unusual.  
Rural locations can sometimes have different zip codes but the same location 
name or the same zip code and different location names.  It’s just how the USPS 
does it.

Hello talk-us!

 

This is the area in question: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/28.2929/-81.2331

 

I'm wondering why this building that I input into OSM: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/405322404 thinks that it's in New Eden 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/154079502) and not Narcoossee 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/154104172). New Eden and Narcoossee are two 
nearby hamlets (unincorporated cities). The mailing address of the building is 
in Saint Cloud, the closest incorporated city to the building that's in the 
same county. I entered the tag addr:hamlet=Narcoossee yet when you search for 
the address in the search bar it says Building 2886, Absher Road, New Eden, 
Osceola County, Florida 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=2886%20absher%20rd#map=20/28.33281/-81.19943
 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=2886%20absher%20rd#map=20/28.33281/-81.19943&layers=H>
 &layers=H).

 

Why?

 

Thanks,

Hello talk-us!
This is the area in question: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/28.2
929/-81.2331

I'm wondering why this building that I input into OSM: http://www.opens
treetmap.org/way/405322404 thinks that it's in New Eden
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/154079502) and not Narcoossee (http:
//www.openstreetmap.org/node/154104172). New Eden and Narcoossee are
two nearby hamlets (unincorporated cities). The mailing address of the
building is in Saint Cloud, the closest incorporated city to the
building that's in the same county. I entered the tag
addr:hamlet=Narcoossee yet when you search for the address in the
search bar it says Building 2886, Absher Road, New Eden, Osceola
County, Florida
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=2886%20absher%20rd#map=20/28
.33281/-81.19943&layers=H).

Why?
