Here in NE Ohio, I count myself lucky in some ways.
There are multiple indoor ranges within a short drive of my house. Some are best described as a WW2 bomb shelter with poor ventilation and are cold in the winter, but there are a couple of nicer, upscale ranges here now too. A recently opened one has computer controlled targets and air flow/ventilation. It's a very nice place, and the prices are more than fair for the venue. Others, not so much. Some are outdated (older than me lol), with poor ventilation, the target carriers are a joke and the general environment is just dirty and uncomfortable. I shoot at these places sometimes, but I prefer the more upscale place, or better yet shooting outdoors.
When it comes to outdoor shooting, we're kinda lucky here too. The state operates a number of outdoor ranges that go all the way to 200 yards. They have benches, covered firing lines and are generally well maintained. The only drawback is that they're not much fun in late December (they're usually closed January and February) and can get crowded on the weekends (I am lucky, in that I get to go on week days). The best part is the cost, $24 per season (2016 prices, may increase this year) for unlimited access.
When I lived in Missouri, we just went out on National Forest land and shot all we wanted. I think that's frowned on here in Ohio. But, all in all, I think the shooting range opportunities here are pretty good.
