One should not make too much of the "geographical code." It is not meant to be any kind of useable geographical information. The numbering scheme was designed in 1936 (before computers) to make it easier for SSA to store the applications in our files in Baltimore since the files were organized by regions as well as alphabetically. It was really just a bookkeeping device for our own internal use and was never intended to be anything more than that.

I debunked that whole "layers" thing on the b/c, too - because it's an artifact created by that program and anyone with BASIC knowledge knows it.
But no one gives a darn.
Honestly the whole birther thing is just code for racist in my book. They can't come out and say how racist they are so they hide behind the b/c.
