The hamlet and CDP do NOT include the 43 square miles of the Town of Kent, New York, the great bulk of which gets its mail delivered from the post office in Carmel hamlet, but Google Maps generates "Carmel Hamlet, New York 10512" addresses for anywhere that gets its mail from that post office (the official name of the ZIP code and post office is simply "Carmel" and the portion of its service area in Kent has the approved optional USPS designation "Kent Lakes"). The Hamlet of Carmel Civic Association has its own hamlet map somewhat more focussed on the actual community than the Census Bureau map.
