Hamilton
7.2
High score (8-10)
Hamilton County is Cincinnati — and Over-the-Rhine went from a no-go zone to one of the most restaurant-dense neighborhoods in the Midwest over the last 15 years. The county has UC's 47,000 students, a serious arts culture, and Oktoberfest Zinzinnati which is genuinely the second-largest Oktoberfest in the world outside Munich. Cincinnati women are more style-conscious and socially engaged than in most Ohio cities, and the city has a distinctly Southern cultural flavor from its proximity to Kentucky that affects social norms in ways that lean toward dress and presentation.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine revival is real — the bar and restaurant density rivals much larger cities. UC's student population keeps the city young and rotating. The social scene has range from blue-collar Clifton to the arts crowd of OTR to the suburban edge of Anderson Township. The city's position on the Ohio River gives it a different character than Cleveland or Columbus.
Lower score (below 6)
Hamilton County has sharp economic divides — Cincinnati's inner-city neighborhoods have real poverty and crime issues that sit directly adjacent to the gentrified OTR corridor. The county also includes some of the most conservative and insular suburban communities in Ohio. Without choosing your geographic base carefully, the county's social appeal is uneven.
