Each of the fifty states very likely has a different set of rules.
There's also a difference between the style and the legality.

Very simple: By letting the people tag it that live there and have local
knowledge. They know what the place is called locally, and that usually
is based on a complex amalgamation of size, population, cultural,
economic and hist

Got any examples of this?___

Exactly, so how do we solve this?
There are comments in the wiki suggesting to create new tags, like
place=big_hamlet, place=small_town, etc. But as jeisenbe pointed out, it's
already complicated enough. Basing the classification solely on population
would make the tag:population redundant.

My goal would be to create a default algorithm to classify these places,
but as jeisenbe pointed out, there are several criterias around the globe

adding to what Christoph has explained, as we try to have globally
meaningful and comparable tags, I believe we should focus on functional
(which services + functions are present) and maybe cultural (how is the
place regionally seen/valued, which often has also to do with political and

I'm new to the mailing list, so first I'm sorry if I miss any step in a
proposal for the wiki.
I generated a proposal for the classification criteria of populated
settlements here:
