The \(n\)-state number of a virtual knot or link diagram is the number of Kauffman states with exactly \(n\) circles in the state-sum expansion of the Kauffman bracket polynomial. In this paper, \(n\)-state numbers of virtual knots and links are studied in terms of Gauss diagrams with results relating the \(n\)-state numbers to the linking graph, coefficients of the Miyazawa polynomial (a generalization of the Kauffman Bracket polynomial for virtual knots and links), the \(n\)-writhe of the virtual knot or link, and the upper and lower knot groups.
