U.S. Census Regions

Tonight I was working on a project for my A.I. class I’m taking at MTSU and had a need to have a table of U.S. regions that I could use to join to some other data to allow me to regionalize the data.  I thought that a quick Bing search would have revealed all that I could handle and the problem would be solved.  Well, it turns out that all I could find were all the maps galore but no where could it be found in tabular form.  So, I had to hand enter it based on this info from the U.S. Census Bureau website.  I decided it might be good to post it here for others searching for it and for that time a year from now when I need it again.  It’s totally denormalized for easy use in Excel.  For database work, you’ll probably want to normalize into states, regions, & divisions tables.  Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this -- I had the same need, was about to give up searching and type it in myself and then came across your post.
