why CA is #1, yet again

[mordantly]

we lead the us in zip AND area codes.. i can't believe states only have ONE zip/area code. how many phones do they have?

 

[meddin]

Well, I don't think ANY states have only one zip code. I used to live in ND, and they had at least 4 or five zip codes for Fargo alone. And, considering that ND only has 650,000 people living there, and California has nearly 37,000,000, the phone thing shouldn't be too hard to figure out...

Some other things ND doesnt have a lot of include: gridlock, violent crime, smog, and earthquakes

hey it seems odd to me, but i don't live anywheres else to confirm nor deny these maps. and i think are population is 37M illegals, and 36M "reported" on the census.

That area code list is old. There is no 754 listed which is for Broward County, FL (in addition to 954)

That's your reasoning why Cali is the best...most zip codes and area codes? It's the little victories I guess.

 

[mordantly]

not that we're the "best" just more areas that we lead the nation.

That area code list is old.

I was going to say this too, it looks like the graphic says '00, 10 years old. Probably even more in CA than this is showing.

Wow, you live in the most populated state in the country... Congrats?

VT has under 1 million people living there, one area code has been plenty sufficient for landlines and cellphones... I'm glad we don't have an obscenely high population causing use to need a boatload of zip codes and area codes...

Aside from the gridlock this is an interesting ratio: For every phone in the Country, California has 10 gang bangers.

That's how we do in the 802. #5 beer city in the world. Healthiest state in the country. Best education system in the country. Doesn't hurt to be small.

Sending Love from Burlington VT

I wish I was in a state that only had one area code! Mine has change more than once already. Every time they add an area code and split an area, I always happen to be in the part that gets the new one.
