Actually, we only know that Smith lost Philadelphia County. Are there parts of Philadelphia County that are not a part of the City of Philadelphia?

No (they amalgamated it all in the 1850's IIRC)... but Philly is a pretty divided city (and on so many levels).
Not seen any detailed Philly results for '28 but I would guess that Smith did well in the heavily Catholic areas (South Philly, Northeast Philly) while getting nuked in the heavily Black areas.
Just a guess though.
