775 Area Code: Reno, Nevada

The 775 area code covers most of Nevada outside the Las Vegas metro, with Reno as the primary city. Reno sits along the Truckee River at the eastern foot of the Sierra Nevada, on the edge of the Great Basin — the city's slogan, the Biggest Little City in the World, dates from the early twentieth century. The local working economy reflects gaming and tourism (though on a smaller scale than Las Vegas), the University of Nevada, Reno, and a growing concentration of distribution and logistics employment built around the city's position along the I-80 corridor. The 775 footprint extends across Carson City (the state capital), Lake Tahoe's Nevada side, Elko's mining country, and the rural counties of central Nevada.

Records linked to 775 numbers in the directory often include Las Vegas, the state's largest city, which lies outside the 775 footprint to the south. The pattern reflects standard public-record dynamics, with phone numbers porting across Nevada and addresses linked across multiple cities. The directory currently documents 325 distinct prefixes within 775 in detail, a working subset of the prefix population the code carries.

Reno's home values come in well above the US median, in line with broader Mountain West pricing pressure that has reshaped the region's housing market. Median household income runs close to the national figure, the city's median age sits close to the US reading, and population places Reno as the second-largest city in Nevada — substantial enough to anchor a regional economy distinct from the Las Vegas metro.
