361 Area Code: Corpus Christi, Texas

South Texas is served by the 361 area code, with Corpus Christi as the primary city. Corpus Christi sits along the central Texas Gulf coast, organized around a working port (the city is one of the largest petroleum-handling ports in the country), the Naval Air Station immediately east of the city, and a long-running role as the regional commercial center for south Texas. The 361 footprint extends through Victoria, Beeville, Kingsville (Texas A&M University–Kingsville), and the surrounding cluster of south Texas counties along the coastal plain.

Records linked to 361 numbers in the directory often include Abilene, Austin, Beaumont, and College Station — Texas cities outside the 361 footprint. The pattern reflects standard public-record dynamics, with phone numbers porting across Texas and addresses linked across multiple cities. The directory currently documents 331 distinct prefixes within 361 in detail, a working subset of the prefix population the code carries.

Corpus Christi's home values come in below the US median, with median household income running below the national figure. The city's median age sits in the mid-thirties (a few years under the US reading), and population places Corpus Christi among the larger cities along the Texas coast — substantial enough to anchor a regional economy organized around the port, the surrounding petrochemical and energy complex, the naval installation, and the broader south Texas commercial base. The 361 footprint as a whole reflects a long stretch of coastline and the surrounding ranching and farming counties of the south Texas brush country.
