Des Moines is pretty close at least from a demographic standpoint. Des Moines' foreign-born population is about 15%, so basically the national average. It is a little under the national average for AA and Hispanic, at 11.5% and 15.5% respectively, and it's pretty much the same for Asian at close to 7%. It's not exact but there are few places more reflective at least demographically.
It is also much more economically dynamic with larger in-migration numbers compared to the stagnation and decline of Peoria, IL.
I don't know about the Catskills but parts of upstate NY have better pizza than NYC. It is definitely the case with Utica and Syracuse. I know from being a chef that pizza joints in upstate tend to use higher quality pizza cheese from local dairy co-ops while NYC pizzarias tend to use the big national brands like Grande. It is the same basic recipe in upstate and downstate but upstate has the better cheese.
Minnesota changes pretty dramatically in short distances. In a thin diagonal band across the state, the landscape goes from prairie, to deciduous hardwood forest, to boreal forest sometimes in the span of just 50 miles or less.

Yes, the counties of Otter Tail and Douglas are about in the middle between those eco region transition zones.
Delaware and Rhode Island. Neither are 100 miles. I don't think Connecticut is either.
CT and RI do.
Connecticut goes from NY Suburbs/Exurban areas to rural farmland, to mountains, to new england shoreline.
Rhode Island goes from Providence to Newport, which change vastly in geography, feel, presence and style.
Delaware too.
