Randolph
7.6
High score (8-10)
Chester IL is on the Mississippi River bluffs and is home to Menard Correctional Center, one of Illinois' maximum-security prisons. The economy is significantly prison-employment-dependent. Chester is also the birthplace of Popeye creator E.C. Segar, and the Popeye statue on the riverfront draws visitors.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The Popeye tourism and the Mississippi River give Chester some external traffic, and the prison economy provides stable government employment. But the social scene is a small southern Illinois river town with about 8,000 people in the county seat.
Lower score (below 6)
Chester's prison economy colors the local social environment in ways that are common to prison towns — a significant portion of the permanent population is connected to corrections in some way. A foreign man here is very visible and the social infrastructure is minimal.
