Area data and source

Uses US Census Bureau TIGERweb ACS26 state geography, dated 1 January 2026 and checked 23 September 2026, the same source as our largest-states quiz. Total area is AREALAND plus AREAWATER, converted from square metres and rounded to the nearest square kilometre. Census Bureau numerical data are public domain in the United States.

Only the 50 states are ranked: the District of Columbia and the territories are excluded. Because inland and coastal water counts, the order differs from land-only lists: by land area alone, Hawaii would be the fourth-smallest state.
