Teton
6.5
High score (8-10)
Teton County is on the Idaho side of the Tetons with Grand Targhee ski resort and Driggs as the base — it's functionally a Jackson Hole satellite community for people who can't afford Wyoming's real estate prices. The migration of outdoor-recreation professionals, remote workers, and affluent transplants has been significant and accelerating. The transplant-to-local ratio is shifting fast enough that the social environment is genuinely open in a way that virtually no other southeastern Idaho county is. If you ski, mountain bike, or otherwise fit the outdoor-professional profile, this is the best-positioned county in eastern Idaho.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Driggs has grown considerably but is still a small town of about 2,000 people in a county of under 15,000. The Jackson Hole spillover is real and the demographic is more educated and well-traveled than typical Idaho, but the social pool is still limited by volume. The seasonal character — ski season and summer tourism — means the population swells and contracts, which affects social consistency.
Lower score (below 6)
Outside the transplant and recreation community, Teton County is still southeastern Idaho — LDS-influenced, family-centered, and not organized around meeting outsiders. The Driggs transplant scene is real but concentrated and small. Winter can be genuinely isolating.
