Rigby is growing fast as a bedroom community for Idaho Falls, and Jefferson County has seen significant population growth from Mormon families seeking affordable land near the temple city. The county seat has a local claim to fame — Philo Farnsworth, credited with inventing television, was born near here — but that historical footnote doesn't generate social dynamism. Idaho Falls is 15 miles south and that's where any actual social life happens.
Lower score (below 6)
Jefferson County's growth is entirely driven by LDS families relocating from Idaho Falls for cheaper land, which means the new population reinforces rather than diversifies the existing cultural character. The social scene is family and church-centered with almost no singles infrastructure. An outsider, especially a non-member, will find this one of the harder Idaho counties to integrate into.
