The 2020 Census was messed up, partly because of Covid and partly due to "politics". I stand by my assertion that Iowa is the area of 65-70% urban and within a group of states that are in that range. It could just as easily be the 20th most rural state as the 12th. But go back and look at that list - this group of states are significantly more urban than the ~10 most rural states. Iowa doesn't have a lot of small landholdings outside of the towns/cities. Basically you are either living on a city-sized lot or a 100+ acre farm, with very little in between. So there is definitely the rural identity associated with Iowa, but the population facts paint a very different picture. You really should take a trip out there and visit some smaller towns. The urbanity will surprise you. |
