------
In effect this is a classification by population of the urbanized area
rather than only within the city limits, with a
micropolitan-metropolitan cutoff of 50,000 instead of our town-city
cutoff of 100,000. Perhaps it would be best to use place=city for the
principal cities of the Metropolitan Statistical Areas and place=town
for the Micropolitan Statistical Areas, and then drop everything else
down to village or hamlet (which it would be anyway by the population
criteria). Or if there's a way to identify which of the principal
cities are really major suburbs, place=suburb could be useful.
