https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/lsad.html lists (maybe all) LSAD values and descriptions. For example the most common[1] values in OSM:
| LSAD | Description | Associated Geographic Entity |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | borough (suffix) | County Subdivision, Economic Census Place |
| 25 | city (suffix) | Consolidated City, County or Equivalent Feature, County Subdivision, Economic Census Place, Incorporated Place |
| 43 | town (suffix) | County Subdivision, Economic Census Place, Incorporated Place |
| 47 | village (suffix) | County Subdivision, Economic Census Place, Incorporated Place |
| 57 | CDP (suffix) | Census Designated Place, Economic Census Place |
It is unclear whatever this tag is actually useful for some purpose.
In http://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/maps-data/data/tiger/tgrshp2008/TGRSHP08.pdf it is defined as "Current legal/statistical area description code for subbarrio" and restricted to be string of (maximum?) length 2.
