Yes it is different, however Burke Centre is a little different than
other HOAs, since it's quite large at 5,700 housing units and a
population of over 17,000, making it larger than many towns. The HOA
also regulates businesses and schools in terms of landscaping,
signage, etc.

I agree, but Burke Centre is definitely not just arbitrary lines drawn
by others. I'm sure there are plenty of CDPs which aren't recognized
in other ways, but many do align with USPS city names. That being said
the main topic here is neighborhoods, which the USPS and Census Bureau
typically don't recognize, but are real names associated by real
people to real geographic locations, and are therefore important to
map.
