<2>Population counts have been provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. For more detail, please visit our Census Page for Marble Hill.
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Marble Hill - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<4>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 573 code has been Overlayed with the 235 area code. New phone numbers in the Marble Hill area will be assigned with one of these codes: 573 or 235. As a result, placing a call in the Marble Hill area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<5>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 Marble Hill). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Marble Hill or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
