affecting the whole state
Happening in, used in, or affecting the whole state, not just one city or area.
Padrão de uso:
a statewide [event/ban/election/policy]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "statewide" with "nationwide" or "countrywide". "Statewide" is used for one state inside a country (for example, California or Texas in the U.S.), while "nationwide" is used for the whole country. Another mistake is writing it as two words ("state wide") or with a hyphen ("state-wide"); the standard modern form is one word: "statewide".
Sinónimos
across the state (Common descriptive phrase; slightly more informal and longer than the single-word adjective "statewide".)
|
state-level (Often used before nouns in policy or academic contexts; can emphasize the level of government rather than physical coverage.)
Antónimos
local (Describes something limited to a small area, city, or community instead of the entire state.)
|
regional (Suggests affecting only part of the state, not the whole state.)

in or across the whole state
In all parts of a state, not only in one part.
Padrão de uso:
[something] applies/operates statewide
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes place "statewide" awkwardly in the sentence, for example *"statewide it applies"* instead of the more natural "it applies statewide" or "it applies statewide now". Another confusion is using "statewide" when they really mean "nationwide" for something that covers the whole country.
Sinónimos
throughout the state (A more explicit phrase with the same meaning; slightly more conversational than the compact adverb "statewide".)
Antónimos
locally (Describes something limited to one specific place rather than the entire state.)
