    how can iowa be part of the core, but not wisconsin or michigan??

    the core midwest are the great lakes states: wisconsin, michigan, illinois, minnesota. i’ll typically put indiana in there too

    then, there’s the peripheral midwest, which i typically consider part of the midwest: iowa, ohio, nd, sd

    finally, there’s the not-really-midwest: nebraska, western PA

        that’s fair - i’d be comfortable moving iowa into the core. i left it on the periphery because western iowa is very much great plains-esque

        regardless, if iowa is in the core, then so is wisconsin and michigan
