NewMadrid
6.4
High score (8-10)
New Madrid's claim to historical fame — the 1811-12 earthquakes were the most powerful in recorded North American history — creates occasional geotourism interest. The Mississippi River access and the historic character of the town give it a specific identity. An outsider with knowledge of the seismic history has a genuine conversation hook.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
New Madrid has 3,000 people on the Mississippi River in the Bootheel. The earthquake history draws some visitors and the town has historic character. But the permanent economy is agricultural and the social options are minimal.
Lower score (below 6)
New Madrid County is deep Bootheel Missouri with significant poverty and a social world built around longstanding agricultural families. The earthquake history is interesting but it doesn't generate ongoing social activity. An outsider here has no real infrastructure.
