Richland
7.4
High score (8-10)
Olney is known for its legally protected colony of albino white squirrels — you can be fined for harming one, and there are squirrel crossing signs throughout town. Beyond that quirk, it's a small southeastern Illinois city of about 9,000 with an oil and agricultural economy.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The white squirrel angle is genuinely unusual and gives Olney a small tourism curiosity. But the social scene is standard small-town southern Illinois. The county has some economic stability from oil production.
Lower score (below 6)
Richland County is rural southeastern Illinois. The albino squirrel tourist attraction notwithstanding, the social world here is local, agricultural, and built on generational family networks. A foreign man here has no social infrastructure worth mentioning.
