wrong location on verification

I'm in Iowa, my ip shows I'm in Iowa yet when I login to my apple id the verification box says I'm in New York.

I changed my password for fear of something bad but it still says New York.

What's going on here please?

Thanks!

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.
