           (Boston Orange 綜合編譯) 9月1日勞工節大遊行時，波士頓市長吳弭（Michelle Wu）向數千民眾說“我們絕不退縮”，波士頓將維持「庇護城市」政策。 9月4日，美國司法部遞案，控告波士頓吳弭市長，警察局長Michael Cox，市政府和警察局等妨礙聯邦人員執法。

           這項編號1:25-cv-12456的訟案，由美國司法部民事組提出，以美國經由簽名律師代表為原告，提起民事訴訟，指波士頓市的「庇護城市」政策違憲，罔顧聯邦政府據美國最高權力之事實，以波士頓市2014年通過的「波士頓信任法案（Boston Trust Act）」來違反法律，指示波士頓市執法人員向聯邦政府隱瞞被拘留者的基本資訊，阻礙聯邦人員執法，造成國土安全危機，要求聯邦法院禁止波士頓市執行「信任法案」。

          美國司法部總檢察長Pam Bondi宣稱，波士頓的政策允許危險罪犯從被監督環境中釋放出來，不過訟案並未給出範例。Bondi聲稱，波士頓市的政策明確的是設計來破壞執法，保護非法外國人不受法律制裁。

          波士頓市長和其他的市府官員強烈的為「信任法」辯護，稱這訴訟完全沒必要，還說早前芝加哥也面對類似訟案，並未成功。麻州最高法院在2017年時，也曾裁決地方執法人員不能只是因為違反民事的移民法就羈押人

          包括聯邦參議員Elizabeth Warren，聯邦眾議員Ayanna Pressley都批評這訟案。他們便稱城市有憲法賦予的角力，限制執行聯邦移民法事務，

          美國司法部在波士頓市之外，還起訴了紐約的紐約市，加州的洛杉磯，以及新澤西州的幾個城市。

 State Health Officials Announce Additional Human Cases of West Nile Virus in Massachusetts

 

WNV risk levels now elevated in eight more communities

 

BOSTON (September 5, 2025) – The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) today announced two additional human cases of West Nile virus (WNV) in Massachusetts this year. One is in a man in his 40s who was likely exposed to the virus in Hampden County and the other is in a man in his 80s with exposure in Middlesex County.

 

These cases bring the total number of confirmed WNV infections this season to four. As a result, risk levels for WNV have been elevated to high in Ashland, Framingham, Marlborough, Natick, Sherborn, Southborough, Sudbury, and Wayland.

 

“Given how many mosquitoes have been found carrying West Nile virus this summer, we expected that there would be human infections this year,” said Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein, MD, PhD. “Infections can continue to occur until the first hard frost of the season, which is likely still many weeks away. We are encouraging everyone to continue to take the necessary steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites, including by using mosquito repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants to reduce exposed skin, and to drain anything that may be collecting water outside your home.”

 

The first WNV-positive mosquitoes in the state this year were announced on June 17. Since then, 376 mosquito samples have tested positive for WNV so far this season from Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Franklin, Hampden, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, and Worcester counties. There has also been one animal case of WNV this year in a goat.

 

The risk for WNV is now high in 28 municipalities in Suffolk, Middlesex, Essex, and Worcester counties and moderate in 175 cities and towns in Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, Essex, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, and Worcester counties.

 

In addition to WNV, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) has also been detected in mosquitoes in Massachusetts this year. There have been 21 EEE-positive mosquito samples and no human or animal cases so far this year.

 

Starting next week, DPH will update the public on WNV cases in Massachusetts via weekly press releases each Friday if new cases are confirmed. Surveillance information, including cases, will continue to be updated on a daily basis and posted online at Massachusetts Arbovirus Update. DPH encourages everyone to use this online resource regularly to stay up to date on risk levels in their community and around the state.

 

People have an important role to play in protecting themselves and their loved ones from illnesses caused by mosquitoes.

 

Avoid Mosquito Bites

Apply Insect Repellent when Outdoors. Use a repellent with an EPA-registered ingredient, such as DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), permethrin, picaridin (KBR 3023), or oil of lemon eucalyptus (p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) or IR3535) according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months of age and should be used in concentrations of 30 percent or less on older children. Oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years of age.

 

Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during evening or early morning in areas of high risk.

 

Clothing Can Help Reduce Mosquito Bites. Wearing long sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors will help keep mosquitoes away from your skin.

 

Mosquito-Proof Your Home

Drain Standing Water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by draining or discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty unused flowerpots and wading pools and change the water in birdbaths frequently.

 

Install or Repair Screens. Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly fitting screens on all windows and doors.

 

Protect Your Animals

Animal owners should reduce potential mosquito breeding sites on their property by eliminating standing water from containers such as buckets, tires, and wading pools – especially after heavy rains. Water troughs provide excellent mosquito breeding habitats and should be flushed out to reduce mosquitoes near paddock areas. Horse owners should keep horses in indoor stalls at night to reduce their risk of exposure to mosquitoes. Owners should also speak with their veterinarian about mosquito repellents approved for use in animals and vaccinations to prevent West Nile virus (WNV) and EEE. If an animal is suspected of having WNV or EEE, owners are required to report to the Department of Agricultural Resources, Division of Animal Health by calling 617-626-1795, and to the Department of Public Health by calling 617-983-6800.

 

Learn more about mosquito-borne diseases, including all WNV- and EEE-positive results on DPH’s Arbovirus Surveillance Information page, which is updated daily, or by calling the DPH Division of Epidemiology at 617-983-6800. 

MAYOR MICHELLE WU ANNOUNCES NEW RESOURCES TO MAKE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MORE AFFORDABLE

MAYOR MICHELLE WU ANNOUNCES NEW RESOURCES TO MAKE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MORE AFFORDABLE City has expanded Boston’s Double Up Food Bucks Program to two new grocery stores in Dorchester and Roxbury, increasing families access to fresh, affordable, and healthy food.

BOSTON - Friday, September 5, 2025 - Mayor Michelle Wu announced new initiatives to support low-income residents, including the 143,000 Boston residents who participate in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and expand access to affordable and fresh fruits and vegetables at sites across the City of Boston. As the federal government imposes new restrictions that attempt to limit Boston residents’ access to crucial nutrition programs, City departments have expanded Boston’s Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) program to two new grocery stores: Nubian Markets in Roxbury and the Dorchester Food Co-op in Dorchester. Additionally, the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) and Office of Food Justice (OFJ) launched a citywide marketing and outreach campaign about farmers market programs, ensuring residents facing constrained grocery budgets can count on city and state resources to help make fruits and vegetables more affordable.  “No one should face barriers when it comes to feeding their family nutritious food,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “Thanks to our partners at the Boston Public Health Commission and Office of Food Justice, we’re able to expand these critical programs to improve access to fresh fruits and vegetables across the city. With this diverse set of initiatives, we’re building a stronger food system for our community and making Boston a more accessible home for everyone.” According to the City of Boston and the Boston Public Health Commission’s Live Long and Well population health equity agenda, one of the leading causes of early death in Boston is cardiometabolic disease, and access to fresh, healthy, affordable, and minimally processed food is essential for cardiometabolic health. According to recent data analysis by the Boston Public Health Commission for the 2025 Boston Community Health Needs Assessment, nearly 19% of adults in Boston reported that, within the past 12 months, the food they bought did not last and they could not afford to buy more food.  This data underscores the importance of nutrition assistance programs such as the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Massachusetts Healthy Incentives Program (HIP). According to the 2025 Boston Community Health Needs Assessment Report, nearly 19% of households receive SNAP benefits, with the highest participation rates in Dorchester, Hyde Park, Mattapan, Roxbury, and the South End. The City of Boston and BPHC are encouraging residents to shop at farmers markets. Starting September 1, 2025, all Massachusetts residents paying for fruits and vegetables with a SNAP EBT card at farmers markets will automatically receive up to $40-$80 a month back on their EBT card, depending on household size. To encourage SNAP participants to shop at farmers markets, the City of Boston and BPHC are sharing multilingual, culturally relevant messages through advertising on buses, posters, newspaper and radio ads, mail, and social media to promote this campaign citywide. Residents can find their neighborhood farmers market at boston.gov/farmersmarkets. For information on where HIP can be spent across Boston and Massachusetts, go to https://dtafinder.dtadash.ehs.mass.gov to find farmers markets, mobile markets and farmstands. "We are advancing our health equity goals by helping families access affordable, nutritious food that supports both physical and mental well-being,” said Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Commissioner of Public Health for the City of Boston. “As we continue to advance our Live Long and Well health equity agenda, we are addressing the root causes of health disparities so people can live healthier lives.”  The DUFB program, managed by OFJ, provides customers paying with SNAP a 50% discount on fresh fruits and vegetables. This year, DUFB has expanded to Nubian Markets in Roxbury and the Dorchester Food Co-op in Dorchester, joining existing grocery store participants: East Boston’s La Union Market and Butchery, Bella’s Market, and El Valle de la Sultana, and Davey’s Super Market of Roxbury. In order to receive the discount at the point of purchase, customers simply need to pay for their fresh fruits and vegetables with their EBT card and ask for the Double Up discount.  “Building a more resilient and sustainable Boston means ensuring all our residents have access to healthy, locally sourced food,” said Brian Swett, Chief Climate Officer. “These programs not only address critical food security needs but also strengthen our local food system, reduce our environmental footprint, and invest in the economic health of our neighborhoods. It's a powerful example of how environmental and social goals go hand-in-hand.” “We are working to ensure residents can count on local resources to help them weather changes to the landscape of affordable food access,” said Aliza Wasserman, Director of the Office of Food Justice. “There are major ripple effects of every SNAP dollar spent, and these programs leverage those benefits to keep dollars in the pockets of local farmers and support locally owned grocery stores, while helping make fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable.” “Access to nutritious foods is a critical public health tool, leading to healthier lives and happier families,” said Shelly Yarnie, DTA Associate Commissioner for Food Security and Nutrition. “We applaud the City of Boston on this expansion of the Double Up Food Bucks program, and encourage Boston residents to participate to maximize the food purchasing support available – along with SNAP benefits and HIP benefits that are available.” On August 14, Nubian Markets held a community launch event with OFJ to celebrate residents' access to DUFB. Boston’s DUFB program started in 2018 through a national grant, before receiving funding from the USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, known as GusNIP, in 2021. The program supports the City’s goals of increasing access to fresh, affordable, and healthy food for residents, as well as supporting small, community-oriented grocers by incentivizing shoppers paying with SNAP to visit their stores.  The City's Office of Food Justice provides funds from its operating budget, which are then matched by USDA GusNIP grant funds. Every dollar the city invests is amplified, making healthy food more accessible and affordable for families in Boston while supporting local businesses. Since the start of Boston's Double Up Food Bucks program, SNAP shoppers have purchased more than $1.6 million in fresh fruits and vegetables at local grocery stores. Over $850,000 of this amount came from the DUFB program discounts, which was made possible through the city's investment and GusNIP funds. Furthermore, preliminary surveys show the program is encouraging healthy habits, with 62% of participants reporting that they now purchase more fresh produce. Both DUFB and HIP are available for all SNAP beneficiaries/EBT cardholders buying fresh produce at participating Double Up stores or HIP vendors. For any questions and more program information, please visit boston.gov/doubleup or email food@boston.gov. "Our mission to build a hub for food access in Roxbury that builds connections to the African diaspora is bolstered when we can ensure fresh food is affordable to residents at all economic levels” said Nubian Markets cofounder and general manager Yusuf Yassin. “We have been excited to offer the Double Up Food Bucks program to our customers at Nubian Markets, and neighbors are excited to purchase more healthy food to make their SNAP benefits go farther." These campaigns are supported by the Boston Public Health Commission and the City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Food Justice, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) Program and the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, project award no. 2021-70030-35762, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR SPOOKY STREETS AND FALL & HARVEST GRANT

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR SPOOKY STREETS AND FALL & HARVEST GRANT This funding builds on the Mayor’s efforts to create a fun and safe environment for kids and families to enjoy community with a mini-grant opportunity for neighborhoods to host Halloween and fall harvest block parties.

BOSTON — Friday, September 5, 2025 — Today, Mayor Michelle Wu and the Community Engagement Cabinet’s Office of Civic Organizing announced applications are now open for the Spooky Streets Grant Program. Residents and community groups who apply and get approved will receive a mini-grant for $300 to purchase items such as candy, pumpkins, decorations, and face paint, making it easier and more affordable for neighborhoods to host Halloween and Fall and Harvest block parties. This announcement builds on the Mayor’s work to make Boston a home for everyone and City efforts to create fun and safe programming for kids and families to build community and enjoy Boston neighborhoods. “I’m excited to bring back Boston’s very popular Spooky Streets program, which has helped families and neighborhoods safely celebrate Halloween and fall with their friends and community through lively block parties,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “I look forward to seeing the creativity of our residents shine through their costumes and decorations this fall!” This summer, the Mayor’s Office of Civic Organizing provided 110 grants to residents and community groups totaling $61,700 across 18 neighborhoods in Boston through the City’s Block Party Grant Program. The Cummings Foundation provided funding to support the Mayor’s efforts to help residents activate their neighborhoods with events that bring unity and joy. “We’re excited to bring back the Spooky Streets Grant and expand its reach this year with the generous support of The Cummings Foundation,” said Director of the Office of Civic Organizing Nathalia Benitez-Perez. “These grants empower communities to celebrate together and create lasting memories for kids and families across Boston. The Spooky Streets Grant gives neighbors the chance to transform their streets into festive, traffic-free spaces and build new traditions during the Fall and Harvest season."  For residents interested in applying, please see below: Apply for the Play Street Closing Permit first here. Then you will be prompted to apply for the $300 Spooky Streets mini-grant. Applying for a permit does not guarantee a grant. You must apply for the mini-grant separately to be considered for the Spooky Street grant.  To be eligible, all block parties must be free and open to the public. Residents cannot sell or charge for anything at the event. Block parties cannot be hosted on parks or private lots, and must be on a public street. Block parties must be hosted the week leading up to Halloween from Friday, October 24 - Sunday, November 2. Block parties do not have to be Halloween-themed.  “Last year’s grant made it possible for us to bring our neighborhood together in a really special way. We were able to purchase food and favors for our neighbors, which made the gathering both welcoming and fun for everyone. The light-up Halloween favors we purchased with the grant helped keep all of our trick-or-treaters safe as the evening got darker. It also made the neighborhood very festive with children in bright necklaces, rings, and bracelets,”  said Philip Cheng, Dorchester resident. “Our block party definitely elevated our typical Halloween—it gave neighbors a chance to connect, enjoy public spaces and strengthen our sense of community. I hope to see the Spooky Streets Grant program for many years to create a sense of belonging that lasts well beyond the event itself.” "With Mayor Wu's support, block parties have become a vital part of Boston, uniting neighborhoods in a joyous way,” said Brianna Millor, Chief of the Community Engagement Cabinet. 'Spooky Streets and Harvest Season grants inspire residents to carry the joy of community into the fall.'" In partnership with the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics (MONUM), the City of Boston has streamlined the block party permit application process to improve constituents' experience and speed up approvals. The City has also expanded what activities are allowed at block parties without additional permits, including potluck food, tables and chairs, 10 by 10 tents, and more. A Block Party Planning Guide is available to help explain the planning process of hosting block parties in neighborhoods. The deadline to apply for a Spooky Streets grant is Monday, September 22 at 5:00 p.m. The application can be found here (along with the necessary application for a Play Street Closing Permit), and residents and community groups can visit boston.gov/spooky-streets to learn more.   ABOUT THE OFFICE OF CIVIC ORGANIZING The Office of Civic Organizing is committed to collaborative partnerships and programs that promote engagement, awareness, and service in communities throughout the City of Boston.

波士頓華埠8 月驚聞 博愛樓民宅有人擅闖 唐朝餐廳凌晨遭爆竊

鄺寶蓮（中）請黃天輝報告上個月罪案。（周菊子攝）

        （Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導）波士頓華埠居民會(CRA) 9月3日晚在昆士小學飯堂召開月例會，警察匯報博愛樓，唐朝餐館發生擅闖入室，偷盜案件，尊尼閣9號屋主報告翻修計劃。華埠居民會還提醒居民們，9月9日是初選投票日。

鄺寶蓮提醒居民，波士頓市9月9日初選，請大家記得出席投票。（周菊子攝）

9月份的波士頓華埠居民會，由於黃國威、Kate DeBeul這2位共同主席都請假，會議由華人前進會組織員鄺寶蓮主持。

波士頓A-1區警察黃天輝（Frank Wong）在會中報告了Ｘ宗案件。

8月17日，乞臣街（Hudson）97號居民家有包裹被人偷走了。受害者查看監視錄影後發現，是隔壁鄰居偷的。

9月1日下午4點15分，夏利臣街（Harrison Ave.）288號的博愛樓發生一宗疑似神智不清女子，擅闖大樓，摸進一戶大門未關民宅，在屋內東走西走，甚至疑似要洗個澡。當警察抵達時，該名女子坐在浴室的地板上，看起來像似受藥物影響，精神不清醒。警察當場捉著他，送往醫院評估。並非大樓居民的該名女子已因非法入侵罪被法院傳喚，結果如何還有待查知。

黃天輝表示，這是一個很好的案例，提醒住在公寓大樓的居民們，出入小心，別讓陌生人跟隨在自己身後，進入大樓，也別以為大樓內都是鄰居，就不關自家大門。應凡事小心，避免類似情況發生在自己身上。

華埠土地信託會主任駱理德代表該會，以鄰居身份表達擔憂排屋結構受損。

另一宗案件發生在乞臣街14號，8月21日凌晨3點20分，一名嫌犯走到唐朝餐廳門口，想要開門進入，但是大門打不開，於是他繞到大樓側邊，拉扯撬門，然後從側門進入，直接走到收銀機那兒，偷走了裡面的現金和信用卡。警察從監視錄影上已掌握到嫌犯影像，並交給了警探處理，跟進調查。

坦承自己經營房地產公司的Armia Azadian表示，他有翻修後自己住進去的想法。
（周菊子攝）

8月23日凌晨一點，受害者從華埠往大同村方向走，準備回家，要進屋時，一名黑人男子靠近他，講了一些很不尋常的種族歧視語句，受害人於是轉身要走開，沒想到嫌犯竟邊罵邊掏出疑似槍枝的物件出來。受害人趕緊跑開，還打了911電話，只是當警察趕到現場時，見到受害人，但是找不到嫌犯。受害人說嫌犯是往南端(South End)方向逃跑的。警察將把此案交給民權小組警察去調查。

黃天輝強調，警察局有翻譯，也有幾名會講中文的警察，民眾報警，不必擔心言語不通，另外打911電話也都有翻譯服務。

尊尼閣7號業主李先生表示因為鄰居房屋的問題，他已收過好幾張罰單。

鄺寶蓮接著表示，居民們投訴，華埠鼠患猖獗，希望大家不要拿糧食或飯粒，撒在地上的餵食鳥雀，以免吸引老鼠，海鷗翻撿垃圾。希望相關單位能製作中文告示牌，提醒民眾、遊客。

華埠土地信託會主任駱理德建議，由華埠居民會出面邀請波士頓是公共工程局，稽查局(ISD)等單位派人出席華埠居民會月例會，聆聽民眾意見，商議解決問題辦法。尤其是Maple Place，尊尼閣（Johnny Court），溫莎餅家一帶，有人直接把垃圾袋丟在街邊，不丟進垃圾桶的情況很嚴重，也有人亂丟床墊，舊傢俱等等。

本身是程式設計師的出席者，好奇探問尊尼閣9號的翻修計劃。（周菊子攝）

            尊尼閣9號屋主Armia Azadian帶同建築師Timothy Burke到會，向居民說明，他在大約1年半以前，買下這棟已丟空至少10年的排屋，目前打算翻修，並在房屋後面加蓋，以美化房屋。他自己也打算將來搬進去住。

                  建築師Timothy Burke表示，去年他們就向波士頓區域規劃上訴委員會(ZBA)申請翻修，並獲批准，現在因為考慮在樓後加蓋，增加一個睡房，拆掉現有的壁爐，並整修整棟樓宇的外觀，所以需要另外再申請批准。新的翻修計劃將為這棟排屋增加額外空間，目前的想法是翻修成有兩戶三睡房單位，但如果社區希望有更多單位，他們可以考慮改建成有三至四戶。

                  出席居民有人問，現有的房屋內是否有危險材質，翻修是否會對周遭社區有影響，得做些什麼來防止危險等。

                  華埠土地信託會主任駱理德表示，該會擁有尊尼閣3號，會場還有尊尼閣7號業主李先生，他們都很擔心，如果9號業主把地下室的樓層高度向下降低，會損害建築結構，影響到整排樓宇其他房屋的安全。他們希望知道，9號業主有沒做穩固地基工程，尤其是這地區已經面對著地下水造成的地基下陷問題。

                  Timothy Burke表示，這些樓宇都是建造在有20到30英尺深的木樁之上，目前的計劃只是把地下室樓層降低12英寸，不會暴露木樁，所以只是微小改變。

                  尊尼閣7號業主李先生表示，整排5棟房屋共用一條防火巷，防火梯，下水道，無論那棟房屋做些什麼，其他房屋肯定會受影響。他記得以前也有人提供類似的翻修建議，但沒貨批准，他不明白，怎麼會又出現加蓋申請。

                  Armia Azadian則指出，5棟排屋中，有一棟已經在後面加蓋，他們將基本上照那個方式加蓋，希望能讓屋內的居住面積容許更好品質的生活。

                  出席者中有2名專業城市設計及建築的女子，也分別提出問題。屋主最後表示將和駱理德，尊尼閣7號業主等鄰居進一步溝通。

麻州有錢人多半住在後灣區 02116

        (Boston Orange 編譯) 麻州的有錢人都住在哪兒？波士頓商業雜誌（Boston Business Journal）今（4）日公佈一份區域號碼排行榜，指後灣區（Back Bay）最富裕。

            新數據顯示，整體而論，麻州最富裕區域是大波士頓。

            分析發現，在最富裕的10個區域號碼中，一戶典型住家的價值超過88萬元。那幾乎是在Zillow上住家價值指數全國平均值的兩倍。在後灣區和布魯克蘭區（Brookline），典型的住宅價格，超過110萬元。

            南端（South End）儘管在富裕區域排行榜上名列第二，卻同時有著24%以上的貧窮率，彰顯了這一社區內長期以來的貧富差距。想反的，查理士城（Charlestown）在10個最富裕區域號碼中，貧窮率最低，僅略高於6%。

            Dover在波士頓商業雜誌2024年的最昂貴區域號碼排行榜上名列第一，但那時的分析沒把今年的許多數據包括進去。今年有許多區域號碼的排名也和最昂貴豪華住宅的區域號碼排行榜相重疊。值得注意的是，波士頓的金融區和海港區—一些最高成本豪華公寓開發案的所在地—在最新排名中並未名列前茅。

            並不是所有最富裕區域號碼都座落在波士頓市。阿靈頓就排名第八，劍橋市也有許多區塊排名第6、9、10。

            在波士頓市以外，同樣佔據主要地位的有牛頓村瓦班（Newton village Waban）排名第11位，牛頓維爾（Newtonville）排名第12位。

            排名前三的區域號碼為，02116， 02118 ，02446。
