OpenPhone is made for businesses to build their presence locally. Buyers can reach out more quickly to a local number and are more comfortable hearing from a company with a local area code. Most people prefer doing business locally than with national companies. Establishing a phone number in area code 929 boosts business loyalty from the Bronx to Staten Island.
Where does this local presence extend? Area code 929 covers New York, including these parts of New York City: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Marble Hill. It’s an overlay for area codes 718 and 347.
With a population of 8,804,190, this area code’s largest city is the country’s most populous. Everyone in area code 929 lives in New York, though there are even more New Yorkers covered in the borough of Manhattan by different area codes.
Area code 929 touches five counties: Kings, NY, Queens, NY, Bronx, NY, Richmond, NY, and New York, NY.
There are also multiple counties nearby: 201/551 (Jersey City, NJ), 212/332/646 (New York, NY), 516 (Hempstead, NY), 609/640 (Trenton, NJ), 732/848 (Toms River, NJ), 862/973 (Newark, NJ), 908 (Elizabeth, NJ), 914 (Yonkers, NY), and 917 (New York, NY).
With a local 929 phone number, you can effectively get in front of the right people and establish a foothold in the New York, NY area.
Though the five boroughs of New York City were established in the last century when the current boundaries of New York City were drawn, business owners, customers, and innovation have been flowing across these boundaries ever since. Overflowing with energy from the city, the boroughs have their own blossoming business scene with a busy and varied economy supporting multiple industries.
What are the top three? According to census.gov, these industries reign supreme in New York City:
Educational services, health care, and social assistance
Comprehensive services including professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services
Finance and insurance, including real estate and rental and leasing
You can find some of those industries, like finance, represented in the top ten employers in the city, too. They are the New York City Department Of Education, Citi, Morgan Stanley, Verizon, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, JPMorgan Chase & Co., IBM, Goldman Sachs, Bank Of America, and Amazon.
This Eastern Time Zone powerhouse city has fueled the national economy for centuries. With an average household income of $107,000, families in New York live above the national average income. However, the city’s population is down 0.24% from 2019 to 2020.
Business applications reflect this dip: they’re down 2% from 2019 to 2020. That’s a shame because the state’s startup survival rate over the same period was 77%, reflecting a strong opportunity in the Big Apple for newcomers to start and grow their businesses. This area code’s largest city, New York, is located in New York County, NY. Avoid its 9.5% unemployment rate by joining the business owners that have started businesses and thrived here.
