Virgin Island ZIP codes are not supported #60

Describe the problem

The census.gov link given as the data source does recognize zip codes for the Virgin Islands (e.g. '00823') but the module does not.

Sample code to reproduce the problem

zipper = SearchEngine()
zipper.by_state("VI")

Out[4]: []

Potential Solution

Are these zip codes excluded because of the 2 leading zeros, maybe? Can they be allowed into the database?

@cdonner let me look into it. sorry for the delay reply.
