I am considering creating a place style for US censuses.

What I would like to do is make use of the Postal, Phone, LatLong, and Temple fields for entries more meaningful to censuses. I probably won't have these print: I just want them to be visible on the tag entry screen to help me recognize where the person lived more accurately. I want to group similar census places under one label.

To plan this I need a list of all possible census place labels.
I want to limit this plan to places, not to include relationships, occupations, etc.
For now, I want to do this for US censuses only.

Off the top of my head I can think of the following:

page / sheet (well, that's a "place", sort of)
household / dwelling / visit #
address (house number and street or road)
Post Office
Ward
Precinct
Civil District
Magisterial District
Enumeration District
Supervisor's District (probably useless)
Division
Township, Village, Hamlet

(and of course the obvious City, County, State, Country, etc.)

Can anyone add to this list? Particularly the smaller divisions for cities ...
