S'agissant des états suivants: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvanie, Delaware, Maryland et le District de Columbia; on parle bien du Mid-Atlantic States. On peut aussi parler du Mid-Eastern States. Je suis d'accord avec Thibaut.

remarque: je suis partagé, il y a peut être une confusion sur ces sites avec le Mid-Atlantic qui désigne habituellement ces Etats. Et sur un autre site, le Texas et le Colorado sont désigné comme Midest (sans a)....

la question dès lors est la suivante: d'où provient ton texte. Mes références étant canadienne, c'est peut être ainsi qu'au Canada on désigne le mid-atlantic.

un tableau du U.S. Department of Commerce confirme l'appelation mid-east pour la zone plus communément désignée comme mid-atlantic (Mid-Atlantique)

Ou encore, Centre Atlantique, pour mid-atlantic toujours dans l'hypothèse des sites cités précédemment où Mid-east=mid-atlantic, en évitant les expressions mélangeant anglais et français telle Mid-atlantique
