Shelby
6.2
High score (8-10)
Shelbyville is best known for Lake Shelbyville, a significant reservoir created in 1970 that draws fishermen, boaters, and campers from a wide area. The lake tourism gives the county some seasonal economic activity and outside visitors. But the town itself is a small central Illinois agricultural hub.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The Lake Shelbyville recreation economy means the county has more outside traffic than a county of its size would typically see. There are marinas, campgrounds, and some lakeside development. But the permanent social scene in Shelbyville is local and small-town.
Lower score (below 6)
Outside the lake recreation season, Shelby County is standard rural central Illinois. The social world is local, the community is agricultural, and a foreign man without a specific connection here has limited social options.
