City population is shown in full. The share of each city inside 952 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 952 cover?

842,308 residents across 6 counties, counted inside the 952 boundary — a county split between codes contributes only its part.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 952 Area Code

Who called me from a 952 number?

A 952 number is assigned to Bloomington, Minnesota, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 952 code to look nearby, so a 952 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 608 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 952 code (59% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.

Is 952 a scam area code?

No area code is a scam on its own. 952 is a normal, officially assigned code for Bloomington, Minnesota. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 952 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 608 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 952 code (59% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.

Why do I keep getting calls from the 952 area code?

Repeated calls from different 952 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 952 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 608 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 952 code (59% 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 952 number?

If you aren't expecting a 952 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 952 area code?

Block a single 952 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 952 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.
