States are often abbreviated for convenience and clarity, especially in contexts like mailing addresses, where space is limited. Abbreviating states helps avoid confusion, as many cities share the same name across different states. Additionally, there are fewer states than cities, making it easier to standardize and remember the abbreviations for states. Cities, being more numerous and diverse, typically retain their full names to maintain clear identification.
