570 Area Code: Scranton, Pennsylvania

Northeastern Pennsylvania is served by the 570 area code, with Scranton as the primary city. Scranton sits in the Lackawanna Valley, on a stretch of land that supported a major coal-mining and rail industry through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries — a heritage that gave the city its long-running role as the headquarters of the Lackawanna Railroad and the surrounding anthracite-coal industry. The local working economy has reshaped considerably alongside the contraction of the coal base, with healthcare, higher education, and a substantial logistics presence anchoring much of the current profile. The 570 footprint extends through Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, the Pocono Mountains region, and the surrounding cluster of small cities and rural counties of northeastern Pennsylvania.

Records linked to 570 numbers in the directory often include Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, and Lancaster — Pennsylvania cities outside the 570 footprint. The pattern reflects standard public-record dynamics, with phone numbers porting across Pennsylvania and addresses linked across multiple cities. The directory currently documents 606 distinct prefixes within 570 in detail, a working subset of the prefix population the code carries.

Scranton's home values come in below the US median, with median household income running well below the national figure. The city's median age sits close to the US reading, and population is modest in absolute terms — Scranton itself is small, but the broader 570 footprint covers a substantial geographic stretch of northeastern Pennsylvania with a relatively dispersed population spread across small cities and rural counties.
