325 Area Code: Abilene, Texas

West-central Texas is served by the 325 area code, with Abilene as the primary city. Abilene sits on the Texas Plains in the rolling country between the Hill Country and the high plains, organized around a downtown core, three universities (Abilene Christian, Hardin-Simmons, and McMurry), and the long-running presence of Dyess Air Force Base immediately west of the city. The local working economy reflects the military installation, the universities, healthcare, and the surrounding ranching and oil-and-gas activity that has shaped much of the broader regional economy. The 325 footprint extends through San Angelo, Brownwood, Sweetwater, and the surrounding cluster of small cities and ranching counties of west-central Texas.

In records the directory has compiled for 325 numbers, other Texas cities — Austin, Beaumont, College Station, and Conroe — recur frequently. None of those are inside the 325 footprint. The pattern reflects standard public-record dynamics, with phone numbers porting across Texas and addresses linked across multiple cities. The directory currently documents 214 distinct prefixes within 325 in detail, a working subset of the prefix population the code carries.

Abilene's home values come in below the US median, with median household income running below the national figure. The city's median age sits well under the US reading, in the low thirties, and population places Abilene as one of the larger cities on the Texas Plains — substantial enough to anchor a regional economy organized around the universities, the air-force base, and the surrounding ranching counties of west-central Texas.
