Middle America (United States)

Middle America is a colloquial term for the United States heartland, especially the culturally suburban areas of the United States, typically the lower Midwestern region of the country, which consists of Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and downstate Illinois.

Middle America is generally used as both a geographic and cultural label, suggesting a central United States small town or suburb where most people are middle class or upper middle class, religiously Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, or non-denominational Christian, and typically, but not always, European Americans, particularly of Anglo-Saxon Protestant, Ulster Scot, or Germanic descent.
