McLean
7.2
High score (8-10)
Bloomington-Normal has Illinois State University plus State Farm's national headquarters, which creates an unusual combination of college-town social energy and corporate professional culture in a city of about 150,000. The downtown bar scene on the Normal Uptown area and the State Farm complex both generate social activity. ISU's student population keeps the city lively, and State Farm brings educated professionals from elsewhere who aren't locked into local networks — a foreign professional man can integrate into that corporate community relatively well.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The city's dual character — college town and insurance corporate HQ — means the social scene varies by which world you're in. The ISU crowd is young and accessible; the State Farm professional crowd is more suburban in its social patterns. There's enough population to support real dining and entertainment.
Lower score (below 6)
Bloomington-Normal's suburban expansion has made parts of the metro feel like any other Midwest suburb. Outside the university area and the downtown bar strip, the social culture is corporate-suburban and family-oriented.
