Footnotes ...

<1>	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 843 code has been Overlayed with the 854 area code. New phone numbers in the Duncan Chapel area will be assigned with one of these codes: 843 or 854. As a result, placing a call in the Duncan Chapel area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<2>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Duncan Chapel - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>	Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Duncan Chapel, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.

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.
