One more time for Christine:  The Town of Vienna is an incorporated
entity within Fairfax County.  If you don't live within town limits,
you live in Fairfax County.  Period.  If your mailing address says
"Vienna," it means that you are served by the Vienna Post Office (or
perhaps one of its finance branches/carrier annexes--I live in Oakton,
but some of my mail is addressed "Vienna" but with the Oakton ZIP
code, due to certain peculiarities of the computer systems within
USPS)--nothing more.  Postal delivery zones are where the Postal
Service puts them.  They can be changed at any time.  (And so can town
and city boundaries, although the changes are less drastic and occur
witth lower frequency.)

For Virginians:
1.  If you live in a town, you also live within a county.
2.  If you live within a city, you do _not_ live within a county.
3.  If you live within neither a city nor a town, you live within a
county.
4.  What the Postal Service ("Service?" whatever happened to truth in
advertising?) puts on your return address does not affect the
municipality in which you actually live.  (The Postal Service does, I
believe, have some say in a municipality's choice of street names, to
avoid duplication of addresses in different municipalities served by
the same Post Office.  Municipalities don't like to have duplication
anyway, as it makes life difficult for emergency services and even
non-emergency utility services.)
5.  It's nothing to worry about, generally, unless it somehow affects
your insurance rates because your stupid company's underwriters have
put you into the wrong risk class.  They _should_ know better, but
they keep laying off experienced employees and hiring cheap new
replacements...
