<1>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Burgess - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<2>	The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Burgess. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements. For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the Census-defined area might be expanded to include that group.

Separate living quarters (consisting of one or more rooms) are considered to be those places where people live, sleep and eat separately from others and that have access to the outside (either directly or by a shared hallway).
