Is area code 931 a scam?
No. Area code 931 is a legitimate area code serving Clarksville since 1995. Scammers spoof caller ID to display 931 numbers, which is why complaints exist against a code that is itself genuine.
Neighbour spoofing is the reason a local-looking number is not a guarantee. A caller anywhere in the world can display a 931 number, and the number they display may belong to a real business in Clarksville that has nothing to do with the call.

Who works in the Clarksville area?
Area code 931 covers a wide band of middle Tennessee outside Nashville, and Clarksville is its largest city. The economy is tied to Fort Campbell, the Army post on the Kentucky line that houses the 101st Airborne Division. Soldiers, military families, veterans, and contractors shape the labor market and the customer base. Manufacturing is the second pillar. LG Electronics builds appliances in Clarksville, Google operates a data center on the site of a former Hemlock Semiconductor plant, and Austin Peay State University anchors the city's education sector. Per Data USA, Clarksville held 176,456 people in 2024 with a median household income of $69,303.
Who lives in the 931 region
Clarksville is one of the youngest cities of its size in the country, with a median age of 31 in 2024, per Data USA.

Employment grew 5.17 percent year over year in 2024, among the fastest rates in Tennessee. The city draws commuters priced out of Nashville.
