Clinton
6.7
High score (8-10)
Clinton County sits between Belleville and Effingham and is a historically tight German-Catholic farming community. Despite some suburban growth from St. Louis, Breese's social life still revolves around the Catholic parish and agricultural families who've been here for 150 years.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The suburban expansion of the St. Louis metro has pushed some growth into southern Clinton County, with Germantown and Damiansville seeing new housing. If you're connected to that suburban commuter world, there's some integration possible. Otherwise, the county's Catholic German community is cohesive but not particularly open.
Lower score (below 6)
Clinton County is one of the most culturally uniform counties in Illinois — German-Catholic, agricultural, and deeply local. An outsider, especially a non-Catholic foreign man, will find very few natural entry points into the social structure.
