Schema Question regarding locations

[Jonathan Hatton]

What is the difference between between:

addressLocality
addressRegion


For example when using the structued data testing tool for a client its coming up with the city name first and area second. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

E.g.

addressLocality: London
addressRegion : Kensington

Should it be....

addressLocality: Kensington
addressRegion : London


Any help with this would be great!

Yes as far as I understand schema, it should appear as

addressLocality: Kensington
addressRegion : London

and not the other way round. Schema.org specifies Mountain View as example for addressLocality and CA as example for addressRegion.
