High score (8-10)

Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Märkischer Kreis is the tool and metal manufacturing heartland of Westphalia — Iserlohn, Lüdenscheid, Hemer. The university in Iserlohn provides some student demographic. The industrial character runs deep and the social culture reflects it: practical, locally-oriented, not structured for outsiders.
Lower score (below 6)
Märkischer Kreis is pure Westphalian industrial territory — scissors, locks, tools, metal fittings — and the social culture that accompanies it. The region's identity is built around making things, and the social networks are correspondingly tight and local. No nightlife worth the term, minimal outside-oriented social infrastructure, and a population that's been doing the same things in the same places for three generations.
