How many state-to-state borders are there in the United States?

Similar questions: state to state borders United States.

There are 210, 214, or 218... The breakdown in numbers of borders per state, if you count DC as a state, and if you don’t count the "4 Corners" states as having a border with the state they are opposite (CO-AZ, NM-UT). Two with 0 bordering states: AK (Alaska), HI (Hawaii). Running total: 0.

One with 1 bordering state: ME (Maine). Running total: 0+1=1. Five with 2 bordering states: DC (District of Columbia), FL (Florida), RI (Rhode Island), SC (South Carolina), WA (Washington): Running total: 1+10=11.

Nine with 3 bordering states: CA (California), CT (Connecticut), DE (Delaware), LA (Louisiana), MI (Michigan), NH (New Hampshire), NJ (New Jersey), ND (North Dakota), VT (Vermont). Running total: 11+27=38. Twelve with 4 bordering states: AL (Alabama), AZ (Arizona), IN (Indiana), KS (Kansas), MN (Minnesota), MS (Mississippi), MT (Montana), NM (New Mexico), NC (North Carolina), OR (Oregon), TX (Texas), WI (Wisconsin).

Running total: 38+48=86. Nine with 5 bordering states: GA (Georgia), IL (Illinois), MD (Maryland), MA (Massachusetts), NV (Nevada), NY (New York), OH (Ohio), UT (Utah), WV (West Virginia). Running total: 86+45=131.

Ten with 6 bordering states: AR (Arkansas), CO (Colorado), ID (Idaho), IA (Iowa), NE (Nebraska), OK (Oklahoma), PA (Pennsylvania), SD (South Dakota), VA (Virginia), WY (Wyoming). Running total: 131+60=191. One with 7 bordering states: KY (Kentucky).

Running total: 191+7=198. Two with 8 bordering states: MO (Missouri), TN (Tennessee). Running total: 198+16=214.

If you don’t count DC as a state, then DC is eliminated, Maryland only has 4 bordering states, and Virginia only has 5 bordering states. That would give 4 fewer borders, dropping the total from 214 to 210. If you do count the "4 Corners" states as bordering the state they’re opposite, since they share one point (zero length) in common, then Arizona and New Mexico have 5 bordering states, Utah has 6, and Colorado has 7.

That would give 4 extra borders, raising the total from 214 to 218. If you do both of the above, then the 4 fewer borders and 4 extra borders would cancel each other out, and you’d still be left with 214 borders.

Wow! This is a lot trickier than initially meets the eye! I will have to make assumptions; but, I will state them.

You ask for the cumulative number of state to state borders within the US. Important Assumptions: No double counting of borders; e.g. , if I attribute the WA-OR border to WA, I don’t count it again for OR Borders are adjacent borders which one can drive across on a road. Note, importantly, this road can cross a bridge!

But, this does not count maritime borders across lakes! A border is greater than a point. This affects the point at which UT-CO-NM-AZ meet.

You ask for US State borders. Since AK and HI are not contiguous to the 48, they are ignored. Washington DC is not a State.

Given all of this, I end up with the following: 105 distinct State-to-State borders within the US 105 "double counted" borders within the US, assuming, as an example, we count the WA-OR border twice--once for WA and once for OR 210 cumulative State-to-State borders, including double counting If you count DC or if you count a point as a State border, the numbers will increase slightly. If you count maritime borders, Michigan touches more than 3 States. I hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
