Pike
6.3
High score (8-10)
Pittsfield is a small western Illinois county seat that was a significant political hub in the 19th century — John Hay, Lincoln's personal secretary and later Secretary of State, was from here. Today it's a quiet agricultural town with about 4,000 residents and no particular social draw.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Pike County is in the Illinois River and Mississippi River bluff country of western Illinois, which gives it some scenic character. But the social infrastructure is minimal and the county has been losing population.
Lower score (below 6)
Pittsfield and Pike County are rural western Illinois without social infrastructure, economic dynamism, or anything drawing outsiders in. A foreign man here has no path to social integration beyond patience and the willingness to become part of a small agricultural community.
