The correct answer is the Rust Belt. A perceptual region is defined by the perceptions and understandings that people have about an area, often based on cultural identity, while the Midwest is often considered a formal region due to political and physical boundaries. The Rust Belt is a region in the American Midwest that is recognized more by cultural and economic characteristics, such as its history of manufacturing and economic decline.
