Simalungun
8.1
Mid score (6-8)
Central highland district with Batak culture and mixed economy (rubber, palm, agriculture). Main towns (Pematangsiantar's hinterland) have decent roads and some urban amenities. More accessible than western highlands, but social conservatism is still strong—works if you have patience and local knowledge.
