I'm interested in this, I recently posted a question on how to map
subdivisions, I'm using landuse=residential,name=Name of Subdivision to map
mine.
I think it's important that for US purposes, we can distinguish between HOA
managed subdivisions, which are defined as a legal entity, and all other types
of indicators (hamlet, neighborhood etc). My city, (Centennial, Colorado) which
is quite new, has no areas that are 'neighbourhoods', all residential areas are
either subdivisions or are are defined as just a city address (for those that
have no HOA. There is no naming 'creep' as someone raised in this thread.

Russ -- Yes, MR2 will have the ability to work on a specific location (likely
to be specified as a point + radius, or bbox).
What do you mean by correlating place values, correlating with what?
Rural areas are not as important for neighborhood coverage I would say.
