The percentage of the U.S. affected by an oil spill can vary significantly depending on the specific incident in question. For example, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 primarily impacted the Gulf Coast states, affecting areas in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. While these regions were directly impacted, the broader environmental and economic effects extended to other states, though quantifying a specific percentage of the entire U.S. population or land area affected can be complex. Generally, localized spills may affect a much smaller percentage, while large-scale incidents can have wider repercussions.
