What it does
Returns the administrative regions a location belongs to, or the sub-regions inside one
Given a location, returns the full hierarchy of administrative boundaries it sits within, from neighborhood up through city, county, state, and country. The inverse also works: given a boundary, returns every sub-region it contains. Boundary geometry is included at each level, suitable for display or spatial filtering.
