As you have suspected, this is not a Tor issue but caused by the Maxmind
geolocation data. IP addresses change hands between AS and it can take
weeks for the database to reflect this.

[tor-relays] Wrong IP geolocation

[Mario Costa]

One of my relays is reporting a wrong country and AS Name/Number on the Tor 
Metrics page. I suspect that the other relays displayed filtering by AS Name 
have the same problem since all of them belong to the same 255.255.0.0 subnet.

I know precisely where my relay’s data center is, and it’s not the reported 
country. How can I report the correct location? Browsing Tor’s source it looks 
to me that it downloads a database from 
https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz 
 
but the link is not working, and it seems that they now require an account in 
order to access the data. I don’t know if the Metrics page is using the same 
database.
