Lee
6.5
Lower score (below 6)
Beattyville is a county seat of 1,200 in a county of 7,000 that consistently ranks among the poorest in the United States. There's no significant employer, the population has been declining for decades, and the social infrastructure is essentially nonexistent beyond church and family. The Appalachian economy here never recovered from the collapse of limited timber and coal activity. This is among the most economically and socially difficult environments in the state.
