What State Am I In?

Useful near a state line, where a phone map shows roads but not the boundary. The answer comes with the figures from that state’s page here.

How to use it

  1. Tap "Use my location" and allow location access, or type an address or click the map.
  2. Read the state, its two-letter abbreviation and FIPS code, capital, population and number of counties.
  3. Follow the link to the state page for its county map and full county table.

How it works

The coordinate is sent to the FCC Area API, which places it in a Census 2020 county and reports the state that county belongs to. That is more reliable near a state line than a street-address geocoder, because it works from the boundary polygons themselves.

Population is the Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimate, land area is from the 2025 Gazetteer, and the county count is the number of counties and county-equivalents on this site. The capital is a fixed list.

Questions

What state am I in?
Allow location access and the state is named from the Census boundary at your position, with its capital, population and county count. Near a state line the marker on the map shows where you were placed.
Is Washington, DC a state?
No, but the tool answers "District of Columbia" for a position inside it, because the Census Bureau treats DC as a state-equivalent with one county-equivalent.
What about Puerto Rico and the territories?
The boundary service covers Puerto Rico and the other territories, so a position there is named. The site's figures cover the 50 states and DC, so for the territories only the name and codes are shown.
