What's the proper way to go about localized State/County/City content in the USA? IE how to structure to account for all?

I am wondering about the "proper" way to go about developing and structuring localized content for the USA, esp where it comes to City / County / Ward / etc...

​

In Canada, it's all basically Province > City and so localization is straightforward and easily structured and you can simply prioritize by population/query volume:

• Province 1
  • City A
  • City B
• Province 2
  • City C
  • City D
• Province 3
  • City E

etc..

​

But in the USA there are Counties to deal with, and I believe other things as well (Ward? District? Etc).

​

My instinct is to keep it simple and just group them all by state, then just treat cities/counties/etc all the same in terms of content development, and then prioritize them by population size / query volumes.

• State 1
  • City A
  • County A
  • Ward A
  • County B
  • City B
  • District A
• State 2
  • City C
  • County C
  • Ward B
  • District B

​

But maybe there's a better way or some unseen pitfall?
