Union
6.2
High score (8-10)
Union County is in deep southern Illinois below Carbondale, with Anna and Cobden as the main communities. The county is on the southern Illinois wine trail and has some agricultural tourist activity around apple orchards in fall.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The proximity to Carbondale gives residents access to SIU's social infrastructure. The wine trail and orchard tourism give the county some outside visitors. But the permanent social scene is small-town conservative southern Illinois.
Lower score (below 6)
Union County is one of the most conservative counties in southern Illinois, and the social infrastructure for an outsider is minimal. Without a connection to Carbondale's university community or the local agricultural economy, there's no path to social integration.
