Marion
7.0
Lower score (below 6)
The county includes Knoxville (pop ~7,500) and Pella (pop ~10,000), a Dutch-heritage town with a genuine Tulip Festival every May. Pella has real corporate anchors — Pella Corporation and Vermeer Corporation — and a strong Dutch Reformed identity that makes it exceptionally community-oriented and closed to outsiders who are not part of that network. Knoxville has its own economic challenges. Both towns are socially inaccessible in different ways.
