List of regions of the United States
This is a list of regions in the United States.
Interstate regions
Official regions of the United States
Many regions in the United States are defined in law or regulations by the federal government.
Census Bureau-designated regions and divisions
U.S. Census Bureau Regions and Divisions.
The United States Census Bureau defines four statistical regions, with nine divisions.[1] The Census Bureau region definition is "widely used … for data collection and analysis,"[2] and is the most commonly used classification system.[3][4][5]
Regional divisions used by the United States Census Bureau:[6]
- Region 1: Northeast
- Division 1: New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont)
- Division 2: Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania)
- Region 2: Midwest (Prior to June 1984, the Midwest Region was designated as the North Central Region.)[6]
- Division 3: East North Central (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin)
- Division 4: West North Central (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota)
- Region 3: South
- Division 5: South Atlantic (Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia)

- Division 7: West South Central (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas)
- Region 4: West

- Division 9: Pacific (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington)
Puerto Rico and other US territories are not part of any census region or census division.[7]

Standard federal regions.
The ten standard federal regions were established by OMB (Office of Management and Budget) Circular A-105, "Standard Federal Regions," in April, 1974, and required for all executive agencies.

However, the OMB must still approve any departures.

- Sub-PAD 1C: Lower Atlantic (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia)[11]
PADD system was established in World War II and therefore don't accurately reflect current trends. The EIA has updated the PADD system with a complimentary set of regions to reflect this and will change it to suite current needs. (Note: Region 9 includes countries not part of the USA but is included for the sake of completion since it contains Puerto Rico)
- Region 1: PADD I
- Region 2: PADD II "Inland" (States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Tennessee and Kentucky)

- Region 5: PADD III "Inland" (Refining districts of Texas Inland, New Mexico and North Louisiana-Arkansas)
- Region 6: PADD IV
