The first three digits in a Social Security number indicates either
where the person applied (for applications made before 1972) or where
the person resided at the time of the application (for those after
1972). It does not necessarily indicate where the person was born.
 

The middle two digits in a Social Security number are a code to identify
fraudulent numbers.

The last four digits are randomly assigned.
