You can name it locality but this is specified for unpopulated areas. Suburbs can also be used for naming industrial areas etc. which are also without population.
I leave it unchanged, because both variants are better than the old place=yes.

Hej,
Mit dansk er ikke så god. Min mormor bor i Stubbekøbing, men jeg liv i Tyskland.

There are many kinds of handling the mapping of areas and roads. I prefer the using of same knots for both. So the renderer will not surround the areas with white lines along the borders to the roads.

But I can keep them separate in future if this is the common way here.

Mange tak for din note.
