Help Caller City ID with stock software?

I've noticed that whenever I get a call from a number not in my address book, it will give me the city and state or at least the state underneath the number. If it's the city I live in, it will say that city and state. But sometimes it will just say the state if it's another state (I've had Oregon, Washington, and United States-- all spam calls).

I'm using stock ICS and stock dialer, and I don't know of any app I've installed that would do this. Is it a stock ICS thing? Just curious-- it's a nice feature, but I remember it being a ridiculous app with a monthly fee on my DX.
 
I just noticed this today. It has to be built into ICS because I never noticed it on any prior android device ive used. I also updated my CID listing on the verizon website so id be interested to know if it actually showed my name for someone that doesn't have my name stored in their address book.

How/ where do you set that?
