See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_China#Summary>

In this sentence, 街道 should be translated as *subdistrict*, rather than *street*.

The segmentation should be 织金**县**金凤**街道**平寨**社区**湾子头**组**

Note that 组 refers to *villager group*. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villages_of_China#Rural>

You would have the order of 省，市，县，镇，寨，村，屯，街，宅。

街道 would be a subdivision in a 县城。区 would be a subdivision in a 城市。街道 could also be a subdivision in a 区。街道委员会 can administer a few of 社区（大院，宿舍，小区）。

The ways to call the places are much different in countryside and in big cities. But in some cities, they still keep the historical names of the old towns and villages。
