Harlan
7.5
High score (8-10)
Harlan County has no warm-category case — Alma has about 1,200 people and the county is Republican River agricultural territory.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Harlan County Lake is a federal reservoir on the Republican River that's a genuine regional recreation destination — fishing, boating, camping. The seasonal lake traffic brings some outsider energy to the area. An outsider with outdoor recreation interests finds at least something to engage with seasonally.
Lower score (below 6)
Harlan County's year-round social world is agricultural families and a declining rural economy. The lake brings summer visitors who mostly leave. An outsider here after Labor Day has nothing to work with and the nearest city of any size is McCook, 40 miles west.
