Officially, by Census Bureau designations, the Midwest includes North & South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. It is broken into two divisions, roughly defined by which side of the Mississippi River they fall on.

Some states that are officially part of the West or South are sometimes also loosely referred to as Midwestern states, most notably Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky, but such references, though not uncommon, are geographically incorrect.
