In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either (startrek.website)

The US isn't a uniform age.

You get more hyper-local accents like the Boston, Philly and NYC accents in the older US cities, and fewer in places that haven't been densely settled as long.

Is there a difference between a Las Vegas accent and a Pheonix or Los Angeles accent? Honestly, I don't really know.

Still, there's fewer hyper local accents and accents tend to be spoken over a wider area. Probably also because the US has had relatively large amounts of internal migration. Also, I assume average people travel further on average than they used to when wagons were the state of the art.
