Please tag boundary=census on census tracts. These are distinct from boundary=administrative + admin_level=8 (for city or town boundaries, at least in California). See United States/admin_level for what works out to be all fifty states and six "other things" like Territories and Commonwealths. Another (easy-to-use) wiki is United States/Boundaries. Both of these are linked in the "United States" row of admin_level's "10 levels" table.
The reason that administrative and census collide in the boundary key (making you choose one or the other) is because they really are things distinct from one another. Choose the correct one, especially true when making the distinction between boundary=census and boundary=administrative. It is not correct to include an admin_level=* key on objects tagged boundary=census. Thank you and please let the community know if either (or both) of the wikis noted in the first paragraph above do not explain this to your satisfaction for tagging these things in the USA. (There may be yet-to-add details to those wikis, though they are believed to be largely correct and current). _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
