The
South Atlantic United States form one of the nine
Census Bureau Divisions within the
United States that are recognized by the
United States Census Bureau.
This division includes eight states and one district;
Delaware,
Florida,
Georgia,
Maryland,
North Carolina,
South Carolina,
Virginia,
West Virginia, and the
District of Columbia . Together with the
East South Central States (
Alabama,
Kentucky,
Mississippi and
Tennessee) and the
West South Central States (
Arkansas,
Louisiana,
Oklahoma and
Texas), the South Atlantic States constitute the
United States Census Bureau's broader
Census Bureau Region of the
South (the other three regions being the
Northeast,
Midwest and
West, all of which have two divisions).
Most of the area covered by the South Atlantic United States comprises the
New South, one of the nine "moral regions" into which the
United States is divided in the 1991 non-fiction book
The Day America Told The Truth, with the rest of the South being placed in a different moral region, that of
Old Dixie. Some parts of
Virginia,
West Virginia, and
Maryland, along with the
District of Columbia, are considered to be a part of
Metropolis, with the
northern panhandle of
West Virginia being classified in the
Rust Belt.
