Generally, numbers were assigned beginning in the northeast and moving westward, so that people on the east coast had the lowest numbers and those on the west coast had the highest numbers. As the areas assigned to a locality are exhausted, new areas from the pool are assigned, so some states have noncontiguous groups of numbers.
Complete list of area number groups from the Social Security Administration
* The middle two digits are the group number. They have no special geographic or data significance but merely serve to break the number into conveniently sized blocks for orderly issuance.
* There is a theory that the two middle digits can be used to identify a person's ethnic background. This is debunked as an urban legend on snopes.com as well as on the Social Security Administration's website.
The group numbers range from 01 to 99. However, they are not assigned in consecutive order. For administrative reasons, group numbers are issued in the following order:
1. ODD numbers from 01 through 09
2. EVEN numbers from 10 through 98
3. EVEN numbers from 02 through 08
4. ODD numbers from 11 through 99
As an example, group number 98 will be issued before 11.
* The last four digits are serial numbers. They represent a straight numerical sequence of digits from 0001-9999 within the group.

Go to the website www.ssa.gov to get the history of the numbering system used by the Social Security Administration. Wikipedia also has a site explaining the numbering system. There is nothing apocalyptic or secret about the numbers.
