This is a complete list of all 50 U.S. states, its federal district (Washington, D.C.) and its major territories ordered by total area, land area and water area. [1] The water area includes inland waters, coastal waters, the Great Lakes and territorial waters. Glaciers and intermittent bodies of water are counted as land area. [2]
Square miles should not be confused with miles square, a square region with each side having a length of the value given. For example, a region which is 20 miles square (20 miles × 20 miles) has an area of 400 sq mi; a rectangle of measuring 10 miles × 40 miles also has an area of 400 sq mi, but is not 20 miles square.
One acre equals 1 ⁄ 640 (0.0015625) square mile, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet, [2] or about 4,047 square metres (0.4047 hectares) (see below).While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends upon the particular yard on which it is based.
Tulare Lake, with an area of 570 square miles (1,476 km 2), once filled much of the area. In modern times, it is usually a dry lake and partially covered with agricultural fields. The lake reappears during unusually high levels of rainfall or snow melt such as the winter of 2022 and early spring of 2023.
With over 39 million residents across an area of 163,696 square miles (423,970 km 2), [11] it is the most populous U.S. state, the third-largest by area, and most populated subnational entity in North America. Prior to European colonization, California was one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse areas in pre-Columbian North America.
Population density is defined as the population divided by land area. Data are from the US Census unless otherwise specified. Population data are for the year 2023 [2] and area data are for the year 2010. [3] Some population estimates for territories are from the United Nations Commission on Population and Development. [4]
The largest of the blazes, the Palisades Fire, is more than 33 square miles. That’s half the land size of Washington, D.C. A second fire, the Eaton Fire, is now more than 22 square miles.
The Los Angeles–Orange County metro area was the most densely populated "urbanized area" (as defined by the United States Census Bureau) in the United States in 2000, with 7,068 inhabitants per square mile (2,729/km 2). [16] For comparison, the "New York–Newark" Urbanized Area had a population density of 5,309 per square mile (2,050/km 2).
