Calhoun
6.5
High score (8-10)
Calhoun is a peninsula between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers with about 4,500 residents and one main road in and out. There's nowhere to go and no one coming in. This is isolation by geography as much as culture.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Calhoun County has some apple orchard tourism in fall and a handful of wineries, which brings weekend visitors from St. Louis. But the permanent social world here is entirely contained within the local farming community.
Lower score (below 6)
Illinois' smallest county by population, with one paved road connecting the peninsula to the rest of the state. The ferry across the Mississippi runs seasonally. A foreign man establishing himself here would be the most interesting thing to happen to Calhoun County in years, but that's not a compliment.
