The Places database supports both mailing and non-mailing uses, so it allows longer city names than the USPS 13-character limit. For example, Data Axle uses "Corpus Christi" instead of "Crp Christi".
Data Axle follows USPS abbreviations for "Saint" (St) and "Mount" (Mt), shortens "Township" to "Twp," and abbreviates "Air Force Base" as "AFB."
