Not automatically. If you have a small and well defined audience, you
can make some assumptions, but if you have a public site, and 20% of
your visits are from AOL.com IP addresses, what city or state do you use
for that?
If 20% of your hits came from harvard.edu, you could make the assumption
that 20% your traffic is coming from the Boston/Cambridge area, but if
you got a lot of hits from suny.edu addresses, they wouldn't necessarily
tell you anything about the city they came from.
(Having said that, there are tools that will use WHOIS to tell you where
the company that owns an IP addressed is registered. This information is
usually pretty meaningless, though, especially for a large ISP).

Is it possible to somehow resolve IPs into states and even better,
city stats? I'd like to get an idea about where the hits are
coming from.
Thanks!
