There were over 1,600 earthquakes in the continental US in 2013 with magnitude 2.5 and greater not including Alaska and Hawaii. For 2000 - 2012 the average number of measured earthquakes per year was 3,822.
The total count is much higher because many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.
