Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Former coal industry provided stable employment but that era is ending. Current economy is tourism and service work. You get a functional small town with some infrastructure, but population base is limited and economic transition means uncertainty about future viability.
Lower score (below 6)
Coal industry collapse left economic scars that aren't fully healed. Population is aging and young people are transitioning out. The industrial heritage means strong existing social networks and limited opportunities for economic integration as an outsider.
