The US tends to be a lot more spread out than Europe and the rest of the world. It seems like we’re also more likely to move long distances for jobs and the like.
I’m pretty close to most family, 10 to 40 minute drives for everyone that doesn’t live out of state
If you only count first cousins and closer, there’s only a few that you can’t reach in a day’s drive. Most of those are within a half hour to 45 minutes. Depends on traffic and road conditions.
The closest of those is my mom and sister, and that’s maybe five minutes away by car.
If you go out a level of kin, the closest is still in state, but all the way on the other side, that’s my grandmother’s great nephew, whatever the fuck that amounts to is the kinship chart.
But we’re right up in the mountains, and as a whole, we’re less bound by state than we are by basically being mountain folk. Both sides of my family have lived in or close to the Appalachians going back into the 1800s. At least the branches that kept records. We tend to not give a fuck about what state we’re in as much as which side of the mountains because that’s a bigger barrier to visiting someone.
