Yeah but how far off is it? How much exists outside the rectangle?(and conversely, how much of neighboring states intrudes into it?) I can’t imagine it’s remotely significant except for the… 7 people who live in those areas.

Some of the dogleg turns in the border are as wide as half a mile. It's several thousand square miles across the entire state. That said, there are no major population centers on the borders.
