The Northeastern United States (sometimes called simply the Northeast) is a region of the United States. According to the definition used by the United States Census Bureau, the Northeast region consists of nine states: the New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut; and the Mid-Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Major cities in this area include New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo.
The coastal corridors of Delaware and Maryland (including Baltimore) are included in the Northeast megalopolis, and are economically very similar to the CB defined Northeast states, but the Census Bureau classifies the states as part of the South Atlantic region, part of the Southern United States. Other organizations, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of Energy, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service consider Delaware, Maryland, and usually Washington, D.C. to be part of the Northeast.
The Northeast is the wealthiest region of the United States; New Jersey and Connecticut have the highest median incomes in the country after Maryland, while Massachusetts
