[[Image:SouthAtlanticStates.png|thumb|right|330px|The South Atlantic states, U.S. Census Bureau Region 3, Division 5, consisting of the states of Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida]]

The '''South Atlantic states''' form one of the nine [[Census Bureau Division]]s within the [[United States]] that are recognized by the [[United States Census Bureau]]. This region, U.S. Census Bureau Region 3, Division 5, corresponds to the [[Southern Colonies|South]] (states/areas that were geographically part of the [[Thirteen Colonies]]) with the addition of Florida.

==Terminology==
The name of the census division does not refer to the [[South Atlantic Ocean]], but rather to its location along the [[East Coast of the United States|Atlantic Coast of the United States]]. Farther north are the Census-defined [[Mid-Atlantic (United States)|Middle Atlantic]] and [[New England]] (or North Atlantic) states.

==Geography==
This division includes eight states and one district; [[Delaware]], [[Florida]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Maryland]], [[North Carolina]], [[South Carolina]], [[Virginia]], [[West Virginia]] and [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]].<ref>[https://www.census.gov/geo/www/us_regdiv.pdf "Census Regions and Divisions of the United States"] {{webarchive|url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20130107113900/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/us_regdiv.pdf |date=2013-01-07 }}, [[U.S. Census Bureau]], retrieved June 19, 2011</ref> This division is also a recognized geographical division used by the [[United States Geological Survey]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1AklAQAAIAAJ |title=Circular - Google Books |date=2010-01-15 |access-date=2016-10-04}}</ref>{{rp|2}} All entities within the region apart from the District of Columbia and West Virginia border the North Atlantic Ocean.

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 [[Southern United States|the South]] (the other three regions being the [[Northeastern United States|Northeast]], [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] and [[Western United States|West]], all of which have two divisions).

==Demographics==
[[File:Ethnic Origins in the South Atlantic United States.png|thumb|270x270px|Ethnic origins in South Atlantic states]]
As of 2010, the South Atlantic states had a combined population of 61,774,970. The South Atlantic states region covers {{convert|292,589|sqmi|km2}}. With the exception of West Virginia, the region has seen rapid population growth and economic development in recent decades.
