US Regions Map
US Regions Map
This US Regions map displays the four regions and nine divisions of the United States. The US Census Bureau divides the United States into 4 distinct regions.
From regions 1 to 4, the US Census regions consist of the following – (1) the Northeast, (2) the Midwest, (3) the South, and (4) the West.
As the census occurs every ten years, the US Census Bureau uses this US Regions map to better understand the country’s makeup of the country’s population.
They can also perform further analysis into each division to determine the demographic information and economic activity related to each different geographic division.
