Scotch Ridge combines a rural setting with close ties to the Des Moines metropolitan area in a way that reflects its position in central Iowa. The locality lies in agricultural country south of the state capital, where corn and soybean farming remains central to the regional economy. The Des Moines River is a defining waterway of the wider area, flowing through the capital before continuing southward. Des Moines hosts the annual Iowa State Fair, a major statewide tradition.
