Compare and contrast Oregon and Iowa. These come from vastly different perceptual regions. Does the data look similar or different? Explain.
Oregon is the number 10th state by land area, but Iowa is the number 23rd state by land area. The area of Oregon is about twice the size of Iowa which is 95,962.6sqm and 55,838.9sqm. From the population perspective, Oregon has 1 million people more than Iowa’s population which is about 4 million and 3 million people. Iowa is a way more densely populated state than Oregon from comparing the population and the state’s area. The household income of Oregon is slightly more than Iowa's, however, the income per capita of Iowa is more than Oregon. The census also illustrates that Iowa’s employment rate is also slightly more than Oregon’s employment rate.
In conclusion, the geographical perspective is hugely different. The size of Oregon is twice the size of Iowa. However, from the economic perspective, Iowa is slightly better because the household income per capita, the employment rate, and the healthcare are a bit better than in Oregon.
