The director of the sub-district office of the municipality directly under the central government is at the department level, and the directors of other sub-district offices of prefecture-level cities are at the department level.

The director of the sub-district office of the municipality directly under the Central Government is at the county level (equivalent to the county level in other provinces): because the administrative system of the municipality directly under the Central Government is: municipality-district, county-street, township, and the corresponding administrative level is: provincial-director level (prefecture-level city)-director level (county level), the director of the sub-district office of the municipality directly under the Central Government is at the director level.

The directors of street offices in other prefecture-level cities are all officials: because the administrative system of prefecture-level cities is: prefecture-level cities-districts, counties-streets, towns and villages, and the corresponding administrative levels are: officials-officials-officials, so the directors of street offices in other prefecture-level cities are all officials.

Generally speaking, in the streets of prefecture-level cities, many of them are local agencies. The institutional specifications are the same as those of district-level organs. As a secretary or director of an organ, the administrative level is naturally a section. However, in some areas, there has been a high-profile situation, and it is common for district leaders to concurrently serve as street secretaries. In this case, although the secretary is a metre cadre, it is not universal, and the administrative level of the street is still positive.

At the same time, there is no administrative level for communities with street management at the official level. Generally speaking, community neighborhood committees belong to villagers' self-governing organizations, and accept the guidance of higher township (street) organs in business. The internal staff are supernumerary, and there is no administrative level or position. However, in many areas, the secretary of community neighborhood committees is also a candidate when electing deputy leaders of townships (streets). From this perspective, in practical work, the community director or secretary is similar to the stock-level cadres of the street office.

Street offices and towns are at the same level, just as municipal districts and counties and county-level cities are at the same level. Sub-district offices and municipal districts are agencies of the higher-level government, and the directors of sub-district offices and district heads of municipal districts are appointed by the higher-level government and have no independent decision-making power. Although the township government is also managed by the government at the next higher level, it has certain independence, and the township head and mayor are elected by the people of the township.

Generally speaking, the administrative levels of the directors and secretaries of sub-district offices are directly related to their cities and posts, so it is impossible to simply determine their administrative levels. Of course, the level of the director and secretary of the sub-district office is often the same as their institutional specifications, but for the community, they have no administrative level and belong to mass autonomous organizations, but in practical work, the community will accept the professional guidance and assistance of the sub-district office.
