Footnotes ...
| <1> | The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Albuquerque. 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> | 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 Albuquerque). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Albuquerque or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Albuquerque includes: 87101, 87102, 87103, 87104, 87105, 87106, 87107, 87108, 87109, 87110, 87111, 87112, 87113, 87114, 87115, 87116, 87117, 87118, 87119, 87120, 87121, 87122, 87123, 87124, 87131, 87151, 87153, 87158, 87174, 87176, 87181, 87184, 87187, 87190, 87191, 87192, 87193, 87194, 87195, 87196, 87197, 87198 & 87199. |

| <5> | The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Albuquerque. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements.

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). |
