Cool game.

98% perfect, average error 1 mile. I was 50 miles too north for Kansas, that's it.

90%. I was occasionally just tossing the useless states in the open middle area and seeing how I did. Do people actually live in Oklahoma?

If the random order gives you a bunch of coastal states first, it's a lot easier.  If you get Kentucky first (like I did), then Wyoming (yep), you're pretty much fooked.
