The Mid-Atlantic region of the US covers the overlap between the Northeastern and Southeastern states. It takes in seven states: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, plus the nation’s capital, Washington, DC.
It is densely populated. The Northeast Corridor and Interstate 95 link an almost contiguous sprawl of suburbs and large and small cities, forming the Mid-Atlantic portion of the Northeast megalopolis, which one of the world’s most important concentrations of economic activity. Not surprisingly, the area is relatively affluent as a result, having 43 of the 100 highest-income counties in the nation, based on median household income, and 33 of the top 100, based on per capita income.

The top-five cities by population in the Mid-Atlantic are New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Virginia Beach.
