## When should I target a state instead of a city?

Target a state when the result you check is set at state level, or when a city is too small to have IPs online at every hour.

- **State rules:** sales tax, alcohol and lottery content, sports betting availability and privacy notices change at the state line.
- **Fallback:** if `city-` returns errors in a small city, `state-` alone still gives a local-state IP.
- **Wide samples:** a state request spreads checks across many cities, which suits statewide averages.

Texas (21 cities) and California (37) have the most city pages, and 13 states and D.C. have one each. State hubs with only one city are kept for navigation but not indexed; the city page holds the data.

## What else do people ask about state proxies?

### Can I target a state that has no page here?

Yes. State targeting covers all 50 US states and Washington, D.C.. Pages exist only where a city of 150,000 or more people exists; Vermont or Wyoming work through `state-vt` or `state-wy` all the same.

### Is the state code upper or lower case?

Lower case in the proxy username (`state-ca`), as with every other segment. The [username reference](https://metroproxies.com/docs/username-format/) lists all segments and their order.

### Does state targeting cost extra?

No. State, city, ZIP and ASN targeting are part of every plan, from $1.50 for 1 GB (October 2026).
