<1>	ZIP Codes have been created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. 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 city (such as Murrieta). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Murrieta or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Murrieta includes: 92562, 92563 & 92564.
<2>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Murrieta - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>	Every year, the US Census Bureau creates a population estimate for the preceeding year. Keep in mind that this value is an estimate and not an actual count. The most recent Census estimate is for the year 2019.
<4>	The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Murrieta. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements.
