Edgar
7.2
High score (8-10)
Paris IL is a small town of about 8,000 near the Indiana border that used to have more manufacturing employment. The social scene is insular and the county has been losing population for decades. Nothing draws an outsider in.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Edgar County has some agricultural stability and its proximity to Terre Haute, Indiana gives residents access to a larger city. But within the county, the social life is local and centered on longtime community networks.
Lower score (below 6)
Paris and the surrounding county reflect a pattern common across eastern Illinois — population loss, industrial contraction, and a social scene that's increasingly aging and local. A foreign man here is conspicuous and has no social leverage.
