I use a mainly time zone-based definition to define the East and West in the US.
The Eastern US under my definition includes the Eastern and Central Time Zones, and outlying areas in the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico.
The Western US would include the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones, plus Alaska, Hawaii, and outlying areas in the Pacific.
Thus, the five states divided between the Central and Mountain Time Zones - North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas - would be divided between the East and the West.
The East thus contains about 80% of the US population.
How do you define the Eastern and Western US?
