682 Area Code: Fort Worth, Texas

Texas's 682 area code is an overlay sharing geography with the long-running 817 across the Fort Worth region. Fort Worth anchors the directory's records here. The city sits along the Trinity River in north-central Texas, organized around a downtown core, the Fort Worth Stockyards historic district, and a substantial cluster of aerospace and defense employment built around Lockheed Martin's main fighter-aircraft facility immediately west of the city. The 682 designation, part of the North American Numbering Plan, has been filling with allocations as the broader Fort Worth region's number demand has continued to grow.

In records the directory has compiled for 682 numbers, other Texas cities — Abilene, Austin, Beaumont, and College Station — appear regularly. None of those are inside the 682 footprint. The pattern reflects standard public-record dynamics across Texas. The directory currently documents 218 distinct prefixes within 682 in detail, a working subset of the prefix population the code carries.

Fort Worth's home values come in below the US median, with median household income running close to the national figure. The city's median age sits a few years under the US reading, and population places Fort Worth among the larger cities in the country — the western anchor of the broader Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area. The 682 footprint shares those demographics with 817 because both codes serve the Fort Worth region in overlapping form.
