I think these are all city v.s. county issues.

Looking at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/home/?cid=nrcs143_013697

24510 = Baltimore City
24005 = Baltimore
29189 = St Louis
29510 = St Louis City
51600 = Fairfax City
51059 = Fairfax
51620 = Franklin City
51067 = Franklin
51159 = Richmond
51760 = Richmond City
51770 = Roanoke
51161 = Roanoke

That clears up all but Roanoke.

https://va.postcodebase.com/county/51770 says Roanoke City
https://va.postcodebase.com/county/51161 says Roanoke County

I'm going to deploy a data migration for this. It's not the perfect solution (since it won't work for new installations of VIAL that don't yet have their counties imported) but this is mainly a cosmetic issue so I can live with that.

select fips_code, name from county where fips_code in ('24510', '29510', '51600', '51620', '51760', '51770')

Before running this migration on staging: https://vial-staging.calltheshots.us/dashboard/?sql=select+fips_code%2C+name+from+county+where+fips_code+in+%28%2724510%27%2C+%2729510%27%2C+%2751600%27%2C+%2751620%27%2C+%2751760%27%2C+%2751770%27%29%3Aje_rsIHENolLwWtmVYh35LGvwBJbSbTaYfem_qc7-8U

fips_code	name
24510	Baltimore
29510	St. Louis
51600	Fairfax
51620	Franklin
51760	Richmond
51770	Roanoke

After running it on staging, the same query returns:

fips_code	name
24510	Baltimore City
29510	St Louis City
51600	Fairfax City
51620	Franklin City
51760	Richmond City
51770	Roanoke City
