The "inch" measurement is an imperial standard measure (it came from the old British standards). Thus it is not dependant on the state in which you live.

You should actually look at the international standards for measurement (The ISO standards) which the rest of the world ?(including the British) now use. This makes the unit of length the "metre" standard between all countries (except the US).
