<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around West Englewood - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>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 201 code has been Overlayed with the 551 area code. New phone numbers in the West Englewood area will be assigned with one of these codes: 201 or 551.
