Clinton
7.0
High score (8-10)
Clinton County's farming community is tight-knit and accessible if you're in agriculture or related trades — the county has genuine agricultural productivity and the community respects people who engage with that economy. Wilmington has a modest downtown with some local restaurants.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Wilmington was economically gutted when DHL closed its North American hub at Airborne Airpark in 2008, eliminating 8,000 jobs in a county of 40,000 — that scar is still visible. The downtown has some revival effort but recovery has been slow. The community is close-knit in a way shaped by shared economic hardship. Functional if you're in the local economy, hard to break into otherwise.
Lower score (below 6)
The DHL shutdown in 2008 eliminated nearly a fifth of Clinton County's jobs and the economic damage has never fully healed. Wilmington has limited social infrastructure and a community that closed around itself after the economic crisis. An outsider coming in without a work anchor has very little social purchase here.
