KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY

Counties and independent cities share the map.

The Census treats Virginia’s 95 counties and 38 independent cities as 133 county-level units. Fairfax County and Fairfax city are separate features, as are Richmond County and Richmond city.

Some independent cities are small or surrounded by county territory. Use a zoomed view for visual selection or a five-digit GEOID in your CSV to match the city precisely. Each multipart feature retains one Census identity.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Virginia county map questions.

Why are there 133 entries in Virginia’s directory?

The Census inventory includes 95 counties and 38 independent cities. Each independent city is a separate county equivalent with its own GEOID.

How do I distinguish Fairfax County and Fairfax city?

Use 51059 for Fairfax County and 51600 for Fairfax city. Keep the identities separate even when reports shorten both names to Fairfax.

Is Richmond city part of Richmond County?

They are separate jurisdictions. Use 51760 for Richmond city and 51159 for Richmond County.

How can I select a tiny independent city?

Zoom in to its outline or match the five-digit GEOID in a CSV. The editor keeps the city as its own selectable feature.

Can I map Norfolk and nearby counties together?

Yes. Norfolk city, GEOID 51710, and every county equivalent around Hampton Roads have their own records. Group them only if your project calls for a regional view.

Can the same Virginia CSV contain city and county rows?

Yes. Use distinct county-equivalent GEOIDs for the city and county observations. The illustrative file demonstrates this with Fairfax County and Fairfax city.
