Tri-state area

Tri-state areas by region

The following is not an exhaustive list. "Tri-state area" may refer to several additional places in locally understood contexts, such as a business name.

Northeast

• The New York tri-state area, which includes parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Pennsylvania is sometimes included in the meaning of this usage of the term, since the New York metropolitan statistical area, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, includes a small part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but one still has to cross New Jersey or New York to access the state from Connecticut.
• The Philadelphia tri-state area, which includes parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. This use of "tri-state" excludes Maryland even though its northeast corner is closely tied to Philadelphia.
• The Pittsburgh tri-state area, covering parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.
