Ozark
6.3
High score (8-10)
Gainesville is a tiny county seat in the heart of the Ozarks near the Arkansas line — the White River and Bull Shoals Lake are nearby and draw some fishing tourism. The extreme isolation creates maximum novelty for a foreign outsider. Anyone arriving with social energy and resources is immediately the most interesting person in the room.

Lower score (below 6)
Ozark County is among the most culturally isolated areas in Missouri — the Ozarks culture here runs as deep as anywhere in the state, with generations of families who have minimal experience with outsiders. The poverty rate is among the highest in Missouri. An outsider here is a curiosity but has no social infrastructure to work with.
