City population is shown in full. The share of each city inside 562 is measured from Census tract centroids, not estimated from a rate-center match – so a city split between two codes appears on both, at the fraction each one actually holds. The “% of listed-city population” column uses the full populations of the cities listed here.

What counties does area code 562 cover?

1,426,637 residents across 2 counties, counted inside the 562 boundary — a county split between codes contributes only its part.

Caller ID is easily spoofed, so these figures reflect the number shown on caller ID, not the caller's true location – an area code alone never identifies a caller. The FTC does not verify the facts in these complaints. Source: FTC Do Not Call (DNC) Reported Calls Data, retrieved 2026-08-17.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 562 Area Code

Who called me from a 562 number?

A 562 number is assigned to Long Beach, California, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 562 code to look nearby, so a 562 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 1,301 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 562 code (47% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.

Is 562 a scam area code?

No area code is a scam on its own. 562 is a normal, officially assigned code for Long Beach, California. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 562 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 1,301 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 562 code (47% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.

Why do I keep getting calls from the 562 area code?

Repeated calls from different 562 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 562 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 1,301 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 562 code (47% flagged as robocalls). Blocking one number rarely helps; voicemail screening, your carrier spam filter, and the Do Not Call Registry work better.

Should I answer an unknown 562 number?

If you aren't expecting a 562 call, let it ring to voicemail. Legitimate callers leave a message, most robocallers hang up when no one picks up, and answering can mark your number as active and bring more calls.

How do I block calls from the 562 area code?

Block a single 562 number from your recent-calls list (iPhone: tap the number, then Block this Caller; Android: tap the number, then Block or report spam). To cut the volume, turn on Silence Unknown Callers on iPhone or spam protection on Android, enable spam filtering from your carrier, and register at DoNotCall.gov. Blocking the entire 562 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.

Where is area code 562?

Area code 562 covers Long Beach and the surrounding area in California, spanning 32 cities with about 1,426,637 residents. No other code overlays this region, so 562 alone identifies the area.

When did area code 562 go into service?

Area code 562 went into service on January 25, 1997. It was split off from area code 310.

Is 562 a real area code?

Yes. 562 is an active code in the North American Numbering Plan, assigned by NANPA and in service for Long Beach, California. A real code can still show up on spoofed spam calls, so treat unknown 562 calls with normal caution.

What timezone is the 562 area code in?

The 562 area code is in the Pacific Time (PT). Because a number can be kept when someone moves or switches to VoIP, a specific 562 caller may not be in that zone.

How do I call a 562 number from abroad?

From outside the US, dial your country's exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then 562 and the seven-digit number. From a mobile phone you can usually just enter +1 562 followed by the number and let the phone add the exit code for you.
