Ramsey
7.3
High score (8-10)
Ramsey County has Saint Paul — the state capital with the largest concentration of Hmong Americans in the United States in the Frogtown and East Side neighborhoods, and the Hmong Village market on Johnson Pkwy is one of the most interesting markets in the Midwest. The food scene on Grand Avenue and Selby Avenue is legitimate. Saint Paul has a slower, more neighborhood-based social culture than Minneapolis that some find more accessible for actually getting to know people rather than just meeting them.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Saint Paul is genuinely ethnically mixed but has a quieter, more insular social culture than Minneapolis. The bar scene is less developed and people tend to socialize within established neighborhood and community circles. The Hmong community is large but operates largely in its own social world. Ramsey County outside of Saint Paul proper (Maplewood, Roseville) is fairly standard Minnesota suburb.
Lower score (below 6)
Ramsey County and Saint Paul have more neighborhood insularity than Minneapolis — people are very attached to their specific Saint Paul block and social groups, which makes them harder to penetrate as a newcomer. The nightlife and singles scene are both significantly weaker than Minneapolis across the river. A foreign man without existing social connections in specific Saint Paul communities finds it harder than it looks on paper.
