Area code 949 belongs to the NANP (North American Numbering Plan) North American area code system in the state of California, and it serves the following nine counties in this area:
Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Ventura. Its important to understand that since the state of California is so massive, and considering the fact that it has the most area codes of any other state (twenty-five total), many blend over into counties. So this is not to assume that this area code serves these nine counties only, but rather portions.
Setting that aside, it also covers fifty towns, cities or districts within those 9 counties in California. Here is compressed list.
Demographically speaking this area code contains mostly people of white population out of the total figure of a little over one million residents under area code 949. Hispanics follow up this number with around two hundred fifty thousand people.
Statistically there is something to be said for this area code, and that is the fact that it contains more neighborhoods of affluence than any other place in any other state in the U.S.
