It is the 12th most rural state by population, yet it is just about average in terms of median family income. It is also educated — about 91 percent of residents age 25 or older had at least a high school degree in 2009, placing the state seventh among all 50 states according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.2 Iowa is also less politically segregated than many other states.3 With a few exceptions, Republicans are competitive in Iowa’s Democratic-leaning regions, and vice versa.

Hmmm, this sounds a little more like the Iowa I know than the Iowa portrayed in the Atlantic earlier this year.
