Results from a numerical integration survey of all 179 currently-known inner solar system asteroids with a ≤ aMars, q ≥ aMercury are presented. A surprising number of asteroids are currently in, or very near, mean-motion resonances with Mercury, Venus, Earth, or Mars. Some of the resonance associations are of high order. Most of the resonance associations are relatively short-lived, with the asteroids wandering in and out of resonance on timescales of hundreds to several thousand years.
