Pike
6.5
Lower score (below 6)
Pikeville is the largest city in eastern Kentucky and the seat of Pike County, historically the wealthiest coal county in the state. The University of Pikeville and a major medical center give Pikeville more institutional weight than most eastern Kentucky county seats — but it's still deep Appalachia, 60,000 people in a coal county with a declining economy and an opioid crisis. Even Pikeville, the most developed eastern Kentucky city, is a hard social environment for a foreign man without existing local ties.
