Area code 205 covers Birmingham and the north-central Alabama region — Jefferson, Shelby, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Blount counties. Birmingham's economy is anchored by the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), whose medical complex is the largest employer in Alabama and one of the major academic medical centres in the South. The Birmingham metro is also home to Protective Life Corporation's insurance headquarters, and Regions Financial's Birmingham roots remain commercially significant. The steel industry that built Birmingham has transitioned to advanced manufacturing, and Tuscaloosa's Mercedes-Benz Alabama plant is one of the company's key North American facilities. The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa adds another major academic and research dimension.
