Fahrenheit 451 takes place in the 21st century bt we dont know exactly which stateIt's true that we don't know the actual place in Fahrenheit 451, but my inclination is to set the novel in the year 2053. There are a couple of reasons for this assumption.

First, this date is 100 years after the date Bradbury wrote the novel, but there is a more convincing argument.

Bradbury gives us a major clue about the date in his text. In Montag's first conversation with Clarisse she mentions that her uncle was arrested for being a pedestrian. In 1951 Bradbury wrote a short story called "The Pedestrian" where this very incident occurs in the year 2053. I would say, with some confidence, that Bradbury had this story in mind when he turned his short story "The Fireman" into Fahrenheit 451 two years later in 1953.
