Geographic labels in the US are a product of history. North is the northeast. South is the south east. Midwest means the mideast (many parts of which are further east than parts of the south). The actual midwest is called the mountain region the west is actually the west. If you referred to Phoenix as a “southern US city” or Portland as a “northern US city” most people in the country would look at you weird.
