Omaha, Nebraska and know that Omaha is closer to Washington, DC then it is
to Boise Idaho. So my guess is that it is somewhere in western Nebraska or
eastern Colorado.

1) GEOGRAPHIC CENTER, Contiguous 48 States: near Lebanon KS

2) MEAN CENTER OF POPULATION (1990 Census): in Crawford County,
Missouri http://tinyurl.com/rwpat

3) MEDIAN CENTER OF POPULATION: (38 deg 57' 55" N, 86 deg, 31' 53"
W), in Marshall township, Lawrence County, Indiana, about 14 miles
south of Bloomington, Kansas.

4) Center of soaring: ? -- the SSA may have info from which that could
be derived, but Kansas City is about half way between #1 and #2 above.

City is about half way between the 48-State
Geographic center and the Mean Center of Population, so it can't be
far off.
