Footnotes ...
| <1> | The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Louisville. While it might not be exactly right, hopefully it will be close. If we have it wrong or there's a better way to pronounce the name, please contact us through our Feedback Page. |
| <2> | While Louisville is in the Eastern Time Zone, the area to the west is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT). |
| <3> | 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 Louisville). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Louisville or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).

| <8> | The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Louisville. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements.
