Middle America is the term usually used to describe the Midwestern United States or more specifically, the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. It's also sometimes used figuratively to refer to the American middle class.

Central America, on the other hand, is the central geographic region of the Americas, which looks like a land bridge connecting North America (Canada, the United States and Mexico) with South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, and others). Central America is composed of seven small Latin American countries, named Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.

Middle America is a term that most commonly refers to the central United States that includes the Ohio Valley, central and northern Mississippi Valley and Central plains to the Rockies. The area generally does not include "The South" meaning that Texas, Kentucky and sometimes Arkansas are not considered "middle America"

Middle can also sometimes mean the American (United States) economic middle class. And it can mean the "average" American (United States) citizens.

In some circumstances it can mean all three of these things at the same time. Essentially when some one is talking about "middle America" they are talking about average people of average means from the central US with "average" values. When American (United States) politicians campaign talking about middle America, this is what they are describing.

Central America is the name of the swath of land that connects North America with South America containing the countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Mexico is also sometimes considered part of Central America, but generally it is listed as part of North America.
