It serves the city of Milwaukee, plus Wauwatosa, West Allis, Cudahy, South Milwaukee, and Milwaukee County, and is a local (non-toll-free) area code in the Central Time Zone.

414 originally covered all of southeastern Wisconsin. The 1999 split (262) carved out the Milwaukee suburbs (Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Ozaukee, Washington, and Walworth counties), leaving 414 with just Milwaukee County. Unlike most major-metro codes, 414 has not been overlaid — making it one of the few preserved single-code city centers. A 414 number remains tightly identified with Milwaukee proper and the city's brewing, manufacturing, and financial services heritage.
