6.6
Lower score (below 6)
Newton (pop ~15,000) is the county seat, known as the former home of Maytag Corporation until the headquarters moved to Ohio in 2001. The county carries the feel of a post-industrial town that lost its main identity. Des Moines is 30 miles west, which is where people actually go. The social scene is modest and the county's economic decline has been ongoing.
