More than one of these codes covers 46 of the 87 counties in Minnesota, and one county is covered by 4 of them. Each card counts the people inside that code's own boundary at the 2020 census. Adding all 8 gives 6,552,283, against the 5,706,494 the same census counts in those counties, because 845,789 residents fall inside more than one code.
How many phone prefixes does Minnesota use?
The area codes in Minnesota hold 3,664 assigned prefixes between them, listed under 173 distinct carrier names. A prefix is the three digits after the area code, and NANPA assigns each one to a single carrier. One of the 8 codes here — 924 — is newer than the NANPA extract behind these numbers, so its prefixes are not counted above.
