Apple Location incorrect for device login

When I login to Apple or iPad etc I receive the standard a device is trying to login from “location”. Asks of this is allowed. The problem is the location is in another state than where I am. Also this place is not familiar to me. Any advice?

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen,  about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.
