Future geography levels
Towns and cities
Municipal and Census place pages will bring the atlas below the county line.
Metro areas and media markets
CBSA and DMA pages already exist; these rollups make their parent hierarchy clearer.
More useful boundaries
Future candidates include tribal areas, county equivalents, and custom analytical regions.
