Grundy
7.0
High score (8-10)
Morris is close enough to the Chicago metro exurb zone that some suburban character reaches here, and the Morris Correctional Center provides some employment. The Illinois River has outdoor recreation, and I-80 creates some commercial activity. But it's fundamentally a transitional rural county.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Grundy County is caught between being a Chicago exurb and a rural agricultural county, and it doesn't fully execute on either. Morris has some social infrastructure and the proximity to Joliet's larger metro means residents access that city for entertainment.
Lower score (below 6)
Without a specific connection to the local employment base or established social networks, Grundy County is just a place you pass through on I-80. The social world is local and there's nothing creating entry for outsiders.
