Keith
7.3
High score (8-10)
Keith County has limited warm potential — Lake McConaughy's summer recreation energy gives Keith County more seasonal social life than its permanent population of 8,000 would otherwise support.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Ogallala has Boot Hill Cemetery — the real version of the Dodge City cliché, where Texas trail drivers ended up in the 1870s — and Lake McConaughy directly north, Nebraska's largest reservoir. The lake brings genuine summer recreation traffic with boating, fishing, and camping that gives the county some seasonal energy. An outsider here in summer finds more life than the permanent population suggests.
Lower score (below 6)
Ogallala's summer energy from Lake McConaughy evaporates by Labor Day, leaving a small I-80 highway town of 5,000 people with limited year-round social infrastructure. The county's economy is agriculture and highway services, and the social world outside summer season is the standard closed small-Nebraska template.
