7 productions were filmed at 4 places inside Richmond rather than at Richmond itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The village of Steveston in the adjacent city of Richmond doubles as Storybrooke for the series, with props and exterior sets disguising the existing businesses and buildings.”

Named here by Richmond’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Richmond, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

“In addition, many other films, such as Rise of the Planet of the Apes and This Means War, were filmed there due to the directors taking a liking to the cement structure of the building, which makes for very official-looking sets.” Wikipedia
