The Superreion of Appalachia comprises of the Ohio Valley and Shenandoah Valley regions, consisting of six States. Along with Big Sky Country and Mississippi Valley, it is one of the only superregions which lacks a single-state region within it.

It was named, presumably, after the Appalachian Mountains, which approximately form the boundary between the two constituent regions.

Politics

Appalachia is an overall Republican-leaning superregion, with Republicans holding an overall 3.5 point advantage in party registration over the Democrats. Nearly all of the Republican margin of comfort comes in the Ohio Valley, where Republicans hold a 6.1 point advantage; in the Shenandoah Valley, the GOP holds a miniscule 0.2 point advantage, making the Shenandoah Valley one of the most evenly divided regions in the nation. As a result, the Ohio Valley tends to be strongly Republican, the Shenandoah Valley has been a heavily contended battleground, and Appalachia as a whole leans Republican.
