The United States uses over 275 area codes which are assigned to specific geographic areas and nine other area codes that are not
assigned to a geographic area. A few states have only one area code such as Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.
The states using the most area codes are Texas which is currently using 24 area codes, California 26 area codes, Florida 16 area codes, and New York 14 area codes. Although area codes are not assigned based upon
population the locations with greater populations have an increased demand for area codes. The nine non-geographic area codes utilized in the United States are 456, 500, 700, 710, 800, 866, 877, 888 and 900. |
