805 Area Code: Oxnard, California

California's Central Coast — the strip of coastal valleys, hill country, and beach communities running between the Los Angeles basin and the Bay Area — is served by the 805 area code, with Oxnard as the directory's anchor city. Oxnard sits on the broad coastal plain at the southern end of Ventura County, where strawberry fields and lemon orchards extend almost to the surf line and where the working harbor anchors a substantial commercial fishing fleet alongside the imports passing through. The 805 footprint reaches north through Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and the wine country of the Santa Ynez Valley.

Records the directory has compiled for 805 numbers frequently surface other California cities — Anaheim, Bakersfield, Chico, Concord, and a longer list — none of which are inside the 805 footprint. The pattern reflects California's standard high number mobility through porting, prior registration, and address linkage. We currently document 611 distinct prefixes within 805 in detail, a working subset of the live prefix population.

Oxnard's home values come in well above the US median, in line with the broader Central Coast pricing pattern. Median household income runs above the national reading, the city's median age skews under the US figure (in the low thirties), and the population places Oxnard among the larger cities along the Central Coast — substantial enough to anchor a regional economy built around agriculture, the port, and a substantial commuter share traveling east into the LA metro.
