In German, it is natural to ask
~ In what 'Ort' do you live?
and is the answer reliably at the level we are talking, and not – say – an
answer which is in fact
neighbourhood
part of the city
geographic area within the state / province (e.g. 'county')
What I am now thinking is that 'Town (as currently exists for Add/Edit within
Demographics) is at least intermediate in size, and hints at both village and
city, and may be acceptable?
The other thought is Urb, which evokes urban. It even has a *bit* of mainstream
use, for example, as a name for a monthly American magazine devoted to
electronic music, hip hop and urban lifestyle and culture.
Shall I ask a local list of english-speaking doctors a preference? I am sure
they may prefer one among {Town, Urb} to 'Place'.
