662 Area Code: Southaven, Mississippi

Northern Mississippi is served by the 662 area code, with Southaven as the primary city in the directory's records. Southaven sits at the southern edge of the Memphis metropolitan area in DeSoto County, on a stretch of land that has filled in heavily through the past several decades as the broader Memphis metro expanded south across the Tennessee state line. The 662 footprint covers the surrounding cluster of Mississippi suburbs of Memphis along with Tupelo (Elvis Presley's birthplace), Oxford (the University of Mississippi's main campus), Columbus, and the rural counties spread across northern Mississippi.

Records linked to 662 numbers in the directory often include Gulfport and Jackson — Mississippi cities outside the 662 footprint. The pattern reflects standard public-record dynamics, with phone numbers porting across Mississippi and addresses linked across multiple cities. The directory currently documents 466 distinct prefixes within 662 in detail, a working subset of the prefix population the code carries.

Southaven's median household income runs above the US figure, supported in part by the city's role as a higher-income suburban anchor for the Memphis metro. Home values come in below the national median, the city's median age sits a few years under the US reading, and population places Southaven as one of the larger cities in Mississippi — substantial enough to anchor its share of the broader Memphis metropolitan area. The 662 footprint as a whole reflects a long band of small cities, university towns, and the surrounding rural counties of northern Mississippi.
