Administrative Places are used in U.S. data for cities, towns, townships, etc. In the U.S., cities sometimes cover several counties and parts of counties; therefore, they do not fit into the hierarchical structure set out by TomTom®. Administrative Place definitions are also currently used in Ireland.

In Shapefile format, the Place Within Place Relationship is present between Administrative Places and Administrative Areas, and between Index Areas of different hierarchy levels. Relationships between Index Areas and Administrative Areas do not exist.
