<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Arnold - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.

The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Arnold). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Arnold or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
