Houston
7.5
High score (8-10)
Houston County sits in the far southeast corner where the bluff country meets the Mississippi — La Crescent is directly across from La Crosse, Wisconsin, and that city's much larger social scene is a bridge away. For a man willing to live in Minnesota but socialize in La Crosse, the geographic position makes it workable. The county has apple orchards and dramatic river bluff scenery.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Houston County is small (18,000 people) and rural. The main asset is proximity to La Crosse, Wisconsin across the river. The county itself has very limited social infrastructure. Access to a bigger social scene requires actually crossing the bridge.
Lower score (below 6)
Houston County has no real social scene of its own. Small, aging, very local. Without the La Crosse bridge, there's essentially nothing here for a foreign man. Even with it, you're commuting to another state for any real social life.
