Make it meaningful
What counts as visiting a state?
There is no official rule for a states visited map. A useful standard is to count a state when you stopped and experienced a place there, even briefly.
The important part is consistency. Choose one rule, use it for every state, and let the map reflect your own travel story.

Clear, consistent data
Regional progress and travel insights
The tracker uses the four official US Census Bureau regions: Northeast, Midwest, South and West. These are different from the nine Census divisions.
Optional insights show the share of the US population living in your selected states and the share of US land represented by those states. These figures describe the selected states, not how much of each state you personally explored.
