Thanks for pointing it out, Walter.

As others have said, local admin boundaries and their hierarchies are weird 
from a European perspective. I am still trying to understand it.

The boundary may still be wrong. Many (all?) of the admin8 boundaries were 
imported almost 10 years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if many have not been 
updated to reflect boundary updates. Time to put in an effort to re-check them? 
(Potentially a lot of work, in Utah alone there’s 295 admin8 relations.)
