The current range of black bears in the United States is constant throughout most of the northeast (down in the Appalachian Mountains almost continuously to Virginia and West Virginia), the northern Midwest, the Rocky mountain region, the west coast and Alaska.

The overall population of black bears in the United States has been estimated to range between 339,000 and 465,000, but this excludes populations from Alaska, Idaho, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming, whose population sizes are unknown.
