Cities in area code 220
220 numbers are anchored to 76 rate centers across Ohio. Each row shows how many active prefixes the locality holds — a direct measure of its numbering footprint.
By numbering footprint the leading localities are Athens, Pataskala, Zanesville, Frazeysburg, Baltimore, Lancaster, Amanda and Marion, and 67 smaller communities down to single-prefix localities. Prefix counts track lines in service, so the ranking is a reasonable proxy for where the code's subscribers actually are.
Metropolitan coverage: 33 rate centers belong to FCC top-100 metro areas.
Overlap note: 76 localities are shared with other area codes, so a neighbor's number may differ in its first three digits.
Clock-wise the coverage is Eastern.
A caller's real location can differ: numbers port between carriers and follow their owners when they move. Use the prefix tables to see where a specific number block was issued.
