Virginia coverage
Virginia has more independent cities than any other state - 38 of them, sitting outside county boundaries entirely. Richmond, Norfolk, Alexandria, Roanoke, and Virginia Beach are all independent cities, not parts of surrounding counties, and this file records them as such. Ignoring that distinction is the single most common source of geographic mismatching in Virginia records.
