Illinois adalah negara bagian paling padat dan North Dakota adalah negara bagian yang memiliki kepadatan terendah. Menurut laporan Sensus Amerika Serikat 2012, populasi Barat Tengah Amerika Serikat berjumlah 65,377,684 jiwa. Wilayah Barat Tengah dibagi oleh Biro Sensus dalam dua divisi. Divisi Tengah Utara Timur meliputi Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio dan Wisconsin, yang semuanya juga merupakan bagian dari wilayah Danau-Danau Besar. Divisi Tengah Utara Barat meliputi Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, dan South Dakota, yang semunya, kecuali Iowa, Missouri dan Minnesota, terletak, setidaknya bagian dari, di wilayah Dataran Great Plain di negara tersebut.
