Policy Choices for Indiana’s Future: Defining the Midwest Comparison Region

This paper presents definitions of the Midwest region with a recommendation for the definition to use for comparative purposes for the Policy Choices for Indiana’s Future project. The purpose is to define an area that makes the most sense for comparative statistical purposes, and as a region that could potentially act collectively to address challenges and opportunities. Because one objective is the collection and presentation of a range of statistical data, the regional definition will be composed of entire states.
