- Abstract
- U.S. Telephone Area Code Boundaries represents the telephone area codes for the United States. They are also known as Numbering Plan Areas (NPA). The Numbering Plan Areas reflect current and accurate boundary changes both where new NPAs split from existing NPAs and where new NPAs overlay existing NPAs.When an NPA is split, the geographic area covered by the old area code is divided geographically, with one portion retaining the previous area code and the other switching to the new area code. When a new NPA is added as an overlay, the old area code remains unaffected. Instead, all or part of the land covered by the old area code is now covered by the old and new area codes.
- Purpose
- U.S. Telephone Area Code Boundaries provides the telephone area codes of the United States for use in telecommunications analysis.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- The dataset is converted to file geodatabase (FGDB) format using tools in ArcGIS. The geometry is checked, and if needed repaired.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the dataset is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The horizontal positional accuracy is difficult to determine since the boundaries may follow state, county, city, or other political boundaries. Still other times they may follow streets or other linear features in the database. Since these features are derived from different sources, it is not possible to give a single overall figure for horizontal accuracy.
