I agree; this sounds correct. I've lived in the USA for several decades (my
entire life), though I do travel.
Country, state, county, city (in the USA) rather neatly map onto admin_level=
2, 4, 6 and 8 (respectively). There are wider-area exceptions (like
township=7) and in some places
ZIP Codes (US Postal Service codes) are not administrative boundaries.
They are widely used for addressing, for routing and for deliveries by
private companies in addition to the USPS, but they are not used for
any official administrative purposes, at least not in the States where
I have lived.

Note that I was asking whatever it
One minor correction, one minor addition to my previous post on this topic.
Where I said "...none of these seems like it would be a
boundary=admin_level..." this is more correctly stated
"none of these seems like they should be a boundary=administrative..."
Also, I have recently discovered
This is from a thread on impo...@openstreetmap.org of the same title (Vol. 123,
Issue 6).
The thread is not attached here, but it involves Brian asking after tagging CDP
boundaries in Oahu County and its coterminous incorporated
consolidated-city-county of Honolulu.
Brian, I agree with Mateusz
