Phone number vendors like NumberBarn don\u2019t easily have access to phone numbers with new area codes. Plus, 303 has greater demand since it has more Coloradan pride attached to it, as do all of the original 86 area codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then why Denver, CO?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not because of new residents needing new numbers. Denver actually had more people move out than in last year.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a study performed by WalletHub, Denver is one of the best cities to start a new business (the 6th best to be exact), and Colorado is the 4th best <em>state<\/em> to start a new business.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">2<\/a><\/sup> That\u2019s backed up by the fact that the Denver area saw an increase of 15.9% new businesses from 2021 to 2022.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The popularity of 303 could be because of demand for that area code throughout Colorado and new business owners purchasing phone numbers for their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/miami_orange.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"Miami skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">Miami, Florida &#8211; (786)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In our #14 spot is last year\u2019s #15 spot,<sup><a href=\"#sources\">4<\/a><\/sup> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=786\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">area code 786<\/a> of Miami, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like last year, there\u2019s no surprise as to Miami\u2019s appearance on this list.

However, this particular area code is seeing our list for the first time. Coming from the legendary City of Angels (aka Los Angeles) is California\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">310 area code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that Los Angeles made this list again. Despite more people leaving than moving into the city in 2022, LA is still the 2nd most populated city in the United States.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">5<\/a><\/sup> That alone explains the demand for Los Angeles phone numbers. But why 310?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this area code\u2019s popularity interesting is that it serves the same area as an area code that made last year\u2019s top 15, 424.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">4<\/a><\/sup> But 424 didn\u2019t make the cut this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why\u2019s that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems people prefer the \u201coriginal\u201d area codes in a given servicing area. Area code <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allareacodes.com\/310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">310 was established in 1991<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t until 2006 that 424 came into the picture.

And Ventura County had a lot happening in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the largest biotechnology companies in the world, Amgen, is based in Thousand Oaks, CA, which is in Ventura County. <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/deerfield-horizon-therapeutics-acquired-amgen-154700856.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJaWC038opc0Yz9BgBd0M97259lw3XvNs_4l--TvGbSWoxjaipJmi-fOFKSmHEt-fw0YdMw87LNGVVG2KmZWp-8pVzAkmDCv8zHK0xi03TpiPx3kJXpQOQcnSs5-L2-bO8C2Vg22cR7Z9yilmgI6vfonhd8wyfx-cWwLuJFZIrU9&amp;guccounter=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amgen announced<\/a> in Dec of 2022 that they plan on acquiring Horizon Therapeutics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the deal won\u2019t likely go through until mid-2023, they plan for the combined companies\u2019 headquarters to be located in, you guessed it, Thousand Oaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we all know plans and discussions of acquisitions and their logistics start way before formal, public announcements. Perhaps these discussions of a major relocation to Ventura County contributed to a rising demand for 805 phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vcstar.com\/story\/news\/2022\/12\/28\/the-biggest-business-stories-of-2022-in-ventura-county\/69745930007\/#:~:text=Amazon%20fulfillment%20center%20opens%20in%20Oxnard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon also opened a fulfillment center in Oxnard<\/a>, which reportedly created 2,000 new employment opportunities for the community.

What is clear is that Oxnard\u2019s unassuming 805 is leading the charge as a front-runner in the top area codes of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/vancouver_orange.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"Vancouver skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">Province of British Columbia, Canada &#8211; (778)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering at #9 is a first for us. Let\u2019s cross our Northern border and into our neighbor Canada to recognize their first and only appearance (so far) on our top area codes list. That area code is British Columbia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=778\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">778 area code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s emergence is no surprise, with the entire country experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/news\/2022\/12\/canada-welcomes-historic-number-of-newcomers-in-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">record increases in population and accepted immigration applications for 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why British Columbia, out of all the provinces?

However, B.C. is considered a leader when it comes to inter-provincial migration with 33% of their new residents coming from other provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>British Columbia still isn\u2019t Canada\u2019s most populated province (it places 3rd when it comes to population), nor is B.C.\u2019s most populated city, Vancouver, the most populous in all of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, B.C. is considered one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/entrepreneurs-best-global-startup-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best startup cities in the world<\/a>, which potentially contributes to its place on this list.

While it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allareacodes.com\/313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">split once in 1997<\/a>, it still services Detroit, one of the most densely populated cities in the US (27th)<sup><a href=\"#sources\">5<\/a><\/sup> and Wayne County, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_the_most_populous_counties_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">19th most populous county<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those numbers aren\u2019t the most impressive, especially compared to other cities and states we\u2019ve seen. So, what makes 313 the 7th most desired area code?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Detroit is considered one of the best cities for businesses when it comes to cutting down costs.

Detroit and Dearborn (another city in 313\u2019s servicing area), saw over 90,000 business applications as of 2021 and a 65.6% increase in new applications from 2019 to 2021.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we don\u2019t have the numbers for 2022, this overall increase in new businesses certainly explains the demand for 313 area codes, since 313 doesn\u2019t have any overlays yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/losangeles_pink.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"Los Angeles skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">Los Angeles, California &#8211; (213)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to palm trees and beaches lining America\u2019s \u201cbest coast,\u201d we greet another newcomer to our list, Los Angeles, California\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">213 area code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the second largest city in the U.S., 213 stands out from other LA area codes with its prestige and distinction as one of America\u2019s original 86 codes.

Los Angeles isn\u2019t breaking records with people moving in or new businesses opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California as a whole actually saw a lot of businesses relocate to other states, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/florida\/2022-saw-more-california-businesses-relocate-to-florida\/article_558e2f38-8860-11ed-86f2-93cafb51cf43.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most notably Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/miami_blue.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"Miami skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">Miami, Florida &#8211; (305)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Florida, let\u2019s quickly traverse the continent and return to more sunshine, beaches and Latin flavor. \u201cWelcome to Miami!\u201d Surprise! Miami ranks as the 5th most popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=305\">area code, 305<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok. So, since Miami\u2019s 786 code already made the list, why exactly is Miami\u2019s 305 area code in even higher demand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all comes back to a common theme we continue to see. 305 is one of the \u201cOG\u201d 86 area codes and it used to cover the entire state of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a current Miami resident or a new one, you\u2019ll want to get your hands on 305 if you can. Especially since phone numbers for 305 and 786 are depleting and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allareacodes.com\/305#:~:text=It%20is%20considered%2C-,%22in%20jeopardy%22,-which%20means%20that\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">considered \u201cin jeopardy.\u201d<\/a> Essentially, numbers might run out before an overlay is created for the servicing area. This could be a simple case of low supply creating a higher demand for Florida\u2019s most illustrious area code, 305.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pasadena_pink.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"Pasadena skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">Pasadena, California &#8211; (626)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Holding its spot as the 4th most popular area code of 2022 is Pasadena, California\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=626\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">626 area code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we don\u2019t have anything new to say about Pasadena. We know it\u2019s not as populous as Los Angeles and it\u2019s still not a startup hotspot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what allows 626 to maintain its ranks as California\u2019s most popular area code?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>626 is the only area code that\u2019s 100% serviced in Los Angeles that doesn\u2019t have any overlays. The other surrounding areas in Los Angeles are serviced by at least 2 area codes, meaning residents and businesses have more options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in Pasadena, 626 is your only choice, and it won\u2019t be exhausted any time soon, so there are still plenty of available 626 phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/newyork_green.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"New York skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">New York, New York &#8211; (929)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well. It\u2019s time to leave the West Coast for good and fly over to the East Coast to visit our 3rd most purchased area code of 2022: New York\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=929\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">929 area code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with many of the area codes and cities on this list, nobody is shocked by this one. But we still want to know why 929 got bumped down from its #2 rank by two area codes that didn\u2019t even make last year\u2019s list. (Oops, spoiler alert!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there\u2019s the fact that New York is <em>the single most<\/em> populous city in the United States with over 8 million residents.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">5<\/a><\/sup> And the population is <em>still<\/em> growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, New York City ranked third in the nation for relocations into this burgeoning metropolis, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hireahelper.com\/moving-statistics\/migration-report\/2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">86% of net moves nationally<\/a>. In 2022, it had a decline, ranking 27th with 41% net moves into the city.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">1<\/a><\/sup> It\u2019s a bit of a drop, but it indicates that a substantial amount of people are continuing to move into New York, resulting in a demand for new numbers. And what better area code to choose than the newest one in the area with the most phone numbers to choose from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, 929 is the newest area code in its servicing area, making it one of the few examples on this list of people preferring <em>newer<\/em> area codes over older ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also believe that\u2019s because compared to the other area codes (347, 718 and 917) 929 <em>looks<\/em> the best and is easiest to remember when accompanied by the remaining seven digits. Which is why memorable, custom vanity numbers remain in high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know you can not only choose a number with your favorite area code, but you can spell out your name, business name, repeating digits and more with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/vanity-phone-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vanity number<\/a> from NumberBarn? Even better, they start at just five dollars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shameless plug, we know. But it would be tragic for you to miss out and for us not to mention it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/atlanta_blue.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"Atlanta skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">Atlanta, Georgia &#8211; (470)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second most popular area code of 2022, we\u2019re scooting south to Atlanta, Georgia, home of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/area-code\/?=470\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">area code 470<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its unimpressive entrance last year, placing 61st on our list, in 2022, 470 made the kind of comeback that legends are made of, ranking second on our list of top area codes across the U.S. and Canada. Why? Hide your surprise for one second. Yup, you guessed it. Turns out Georgia is emerging as a hotspot for new businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WalletHub placed Atlanta 21st on their list of \u201cBest Large Cities to Start a Business.\u201d<sup><a href=\"#sources\">2<\/a><\/sup> But some additional facts paint an even more positive picture. In 2021, Atlanta, Sandy Springs, and Alpharetta (all of which fall under the 470 area code) had the second most new business applications per capita out of every US city, with a whopping 83.4% increase in new businesses from 2019 to 2021.<sup><a href=\"#sources\">3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then why was 470 the area the preferred area code for Atlanta locals, especially considering it services some of the same areas as four other area codes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of those five area codes, three of them cover the most cities, which leaves us with 470, 678 and 943. We can eliminate 943 since that area code was created in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allareacodes.com\/470#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20area%20code%20943%20was%20created%20from%20470\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">March of 2022<\/a>, and between 470 and 678, it comes down to supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using our simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">search on our website<\/a>, you can see there are thousands more 470 phone numbers available to purchase than 678.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of new businesses creating a demand for Atlanta phone numbers and a large supply of available 470 numbers resulted in 470 rising as one of the most sought-after area codes of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it didn\u2019t quite beat our champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/neyork_pink2.webp\" style=\"width:100%;\" alt=\"New York skyline\">\n    <div style=\"text-align:center;\"><h3 class=\"area-code\">New York, New York &#8211; (212)<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, we\u2019ve navigated the U.S. and Canada several times and finally arrived at our ultimate destination, discovering the number one spot for top area codes of 2022.
