So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a town (such as Snow Hill). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Snow Hill or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). |
| <3> | The elevation is an estimate for the area around Snow Hill - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. |
| <4> | 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. |
