Population

The 847 and 224 area codes serve the northern suburbs of Chicago including Inverness, Evanston, and surrounding municipalities. These codes are heavily concentrated in the northern Illinois region.
The region operates on Central Time. Because these codes act as overlays for the same geographic area, they are used interchangeably across these suburbs.
Local residents often report that their lines are targeted by automated calls claiming to be from government agencies or financial institutions. Using a secondary number helps prevent these persistent callers from reaching your main phone.
