Use place= for an isolated settlement, typically with less than 100-200 inhabitants, although this may vary by country. For a larger isolated settlement, consider using place=village or place=town; for smaller ones with only 1 or 2 households consider using place=isolated_dwelling. For an unoccupied place, consider place=locality. For a named area within a larger populated place, such as a town, city or village consider using place=suburb or place=neighbourhood.
