About the Region
Great PlainsThis Great Plains grouping includes the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri. It brings together plains communities, agricultural areas, and metropolitan centers such as Omaha, Kansas City, and Des Moines.

The regional label alone does not establish affordability, storm exposure, or dependence on a car; use local evidence for those decisions.
