- Northeastern United States (U.S. Census Bureau)
-
The Northeastern United States is a region of the United States as defined by the United States Census Bureau.[1]
Composition
The region comprises nine states: the New England states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont; and the Mid-Atlantic states of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.[2] The Census Bureau regions are "widely used...for data collection and analysis."[3][4][5] Not all definitions of the Northeastern United States, however, are the same as the Census Bureau's.[6][7]
Demography
The region accounts for approximately 25% of U.S. gross domestic product as of 2007.[8] As of the 2010 Census, the population of the region totaled 55,317,240. [9]
