Footnotes ...

| <2> | A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Berlin refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a city's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Berlin may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different. |

When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Berlin or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). |
