Where Do Voles Actually Live in the US?
Voles live in 47 US states and are confirmed absent from 1 more, based on 182,471 verified iNaturalist and GBIF records. This page covers every state at once instead of one near-identical page per state.
By Tim, founder of Easy Street Markets. I maintain the wildlife database and verify every animal and source myself.
The states with the strongest confirmed populations are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California and Colorado, and 41 more. These are real, verified iNaturalist and GBIF occurrence records, not modeled range estimates.
Voles have zero confirmed wild sightings in Hawaii, despite tens of thousands of nationwide observation records for the species. That is a real, checked absence, not a missing page.
