Known for its booming tech industry, top-tier universities, and highly educated population, the 984 area code reflects the growth and innovation of central North Carolina. Raleigh, the state capital, anchors the area with institutions like North Carolina State University and headquarters for companies in software, finance, and pharmaceuticals.
