Coal Belt States 2024

  • The US coal belt is generally considered to include some or all of the coal-producing states in the Appalacian region. However, which particular states make up the coal belt may vary by source.
  • As the data illustrates, a state's inclusion in the historic coal belt is not necessarily dependent upon current coal production.
