I mentioned the per capita rating for Indianapolis vs the entire state earlier. The Indianapolis metro area comprises almost 1/3 of the population of the state and is located almost dead center in the middle, and is close to the density you used for the Beer Midwest states.

I think a more appropriate grouping for the midwest would be Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Iowa *could* be included, but it really is on the fringe of that core midwest group.
