Cumberland
6.5
High score (8-10)
Amherst sits on the border with New Brunswick and has regional commercial importance. The Trans-Canada runs through it and it's a genuine commute-able distance to larger markets. Some industrial heritage keeps the economy from completely drying up.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Small but not microscopic—the county actually has some infrastructure for a place this size. Commuting to better job markets is possible but eating your time. Social scene exists but everyone knows everyone, which cuts both ways (low anonymity, tight networks).
Lower score (below 6)
Economic decline is visible—manufacturing jobs are gone and what remains is government/service work at lower wages. Population is aging and younger people commute out. Dating pool is extremely limited and the town has a stagnant feel that comes from shrinking opportunities.
