Monroe
7.4
Lower score (below 6)
Tompkinsville is a county seat of 2,600 in a county of 12,000 at the Tennessee border in southern Kentucky's most economically stranded corner. The county's main cultural footnote is being the birthplace of Bill Monroe, father of bluegrass music, but that heritage doesn't create a social scene. The economy is thin, evangelical church culture dominates, and the social world is entirely local. A foreign man here has no entry point into the community.
