As a general comment, postal addresses and local addresses do not have to be the same and “often” are not. Often in quotes because while it is not common to have different addresses (city or town name) it certainly is not unusual. Rural locations can sometimes have different zip codes but the same location name or the same zip code and different location names. It’s just how the USPS does it.

This is the area in question: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/28.2929/-81.2331 I'm wondering why this building that I input into OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/405322404 thinks that it's in New Eden (http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/154079502) and not Narcoossee (http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/154104172). New Eden and Narcoossee are two nearby hamlets (unincorporated cities). The mailing address of the building is in Saint Cloud, the closest incorporated city to the building that's in the same county. I entered the tag addr:hamlet=Narcoossee yet when you search for the address in the search bar it says Building 2886, Absher Road, New Eden, Osceola County, Florida (http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=2886%20absher%20rd#map=20/28.33281/-81.19943 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=2886%20absher%20rd#map=20/28.33281/-81.19943&layers=H> &layers=H). Why? Thanks, Val
