Many of the administrative boundaries imported from TIGER have a place= tag that reflects the legal type of incorporation of the municipality rather than a sensible value for the OSM place tag (which would give some hint about the relative prominence of the place).
This confusion has gone under the radar, as openstreetmap-carto doesn't render place labels from ways and relations: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/2816 Deleting the imported place= values (or perhaps moving them to some other tag, say something like incorporation=) would directly make the data more accurate and improve maps that render place areas without accounting for the confusion in the data. What do people think about deleting (or adjusting) the place tag from imported US administrative boundaries?
