States by Number of Borders 2024
- Data shown include only borders with other states. Borders with bodies of water such as the Great Lakes (Michigan, Wisconsin, etc.) or the Atlantic or Pacific oceans (California, Hawaii, Maine, etc.)) or other countries such as Canada (Alaska, Montana, etc) or Mexico (Texas, Arizona, etc.) are not counted.
- Alaska and Hawaii don't have a land border with any other U.S. state. They are both considered non-contiguous states, meaning they are not physically connected to the main part of the United States.
- Alaska borders Canada to the east and south and has a maritime border with Russia in the Bering Strait.
- Hawaii is an archipelago, a chain of islands, located in the Pacific Ocean far from the West Coast.
