DeKalb
7.4
High score (8-10)
DeKalb County has Little River Canyon — one of the deepest gorges east of the Mississippi and a legitimate outdoor recreation destination — and Mentone on Lookout Mountain has developed a small arts and crafts enclave that draws creative people who wouldn't otherwise be in rural northeast Alabama. Fort Payne is the birthplace of the country band Alabama and that legacy draws music tourists. Women in the Mentone arts orbit are considerably more open and interesting than the valley communities.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Fort Payne is a working-class manufacturing town where the last of the sock mills are still operating, and it has a conservative, family-centered social culture. The outdoor recreation draws some more open-minded visitors but the permanent population is deeply local. Women here are traditional and the social scene is church and family-centered outside the Mentone enclave.
Lower score (below 6)
DeKalb County is rural northeast Alabama with limited social infrastructure outside the outdoor recreation scene. Fort Payne has a small-town character where outsiders are noticed but the social fabric is built on long-established local networks that don't need or seek newcomers.
