You pick Oakland by adding `city-oakland` (and `state-ca`) to the username you already use.

City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow.

Oakland counts 206,454 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Xfinity (99%), AT&T (97%) and Sonic (61%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 81% of addresses, cable 96%, and 94% can order a gigabit wired plan. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (76%) and Verizon 5G Home (69%). A residential IP in Oakland is announced by the provider of the home it comes from. The FCC shares above tell you which networks to expect; the [ASN targeting page](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/asn/) shows how to pin one, for example AS7922 for Xfinity. ## What local details matter when you test from Oakland? With 443,554 residents in 2024, Oakland ranks 45 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 0.7% since 2020. It anchors or belongs to the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metro area (4.65 million people), which also includes [San Francisco](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-francisco-ca/), [Fremont](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fremont-ca/) and [Hayward](https://metroproxies.com/cities/hayward-ca/). For tests that read local details, expect area codes 341 and 510, Pacific Time and ZIP codes such as 94605, 94621 and 94607. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone `America/Los_Angeles` and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Prices shown to California shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 7.25%, and state plus average local rates come to 9.03% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). California has a consumer privacy law in force, the CCPA/CPRA (since January 1, 2020). ## How much do Oakland residential proxies cost? There is no city surcharge for Oakland.

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-asn-7922` asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Oakland homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### What is the difference between a free Oakland proxy server and a residential proxy? A free Oakland proxy server from a public list is usually a shared data-center or open machine, with no owner you can contact and no rules of use. A MetroProxies residential proxy routes through a home connection in Oakland, CA, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Oakland segment is `country-us-state-ca-city-oakland`. ### How many Oakland IPs does MetroProxies have? MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Oakland changes through the day. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Start with the 1 GB plan ($1.50) to test your own targets before you buy volume. ### Can I keep the same Oakland IP for several minutes? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-session-oakl01-ttl-20` keeps one Oakland exit for up to 20 minutes. Sessions last up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. Use a new session ID to get a new Oakland IP. ### What phone area code should an Oakland test use? Oakland numbers use 341 and 510; these codes overlay the same area, so any of them is local (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Oakland? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 16 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Oakland, among them 94605, 94621, 94607 and 94611 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors. ## Which other California cities can I target? - [Los Angeles, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/los-angeles-ca/) — 3,878,704 residents - [San Diego, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-diego-ca/) — 1,404,452 residents - [San Jose, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-jose-ca/) — 997,368 residents - [San Francisco, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-francisco-ca/) — 827,526 residents - [Fresno, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fresno-ca/) — 550,105 residents - [Sacramento, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/sacramento-ca/) — 535,798 residents - [Long Beach, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/long-beach-ca/) — 450,901 residents - [Bakersfield, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/bakersfield-ca/) — 417,468 residents ## Which large West cities are close in size to Oakland? - [Mesa, AZ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/mesa-az/) — 517,151 residents - [Colorado Springs, CO](https://metroproxies.com/cities/colorado-springs-co/) — 493,554 residents - [Aurora, CO](https://metroproxies.com/cities/aurora-co/) — 403,130 residents - [Henderson, NV](https://metroproxies.com/cities/henderson-nv/) — 350,039 residents **Test Oakland with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
