Blanco
7.2
High score (8-10)
Johnson City sits on the wine trail between Fredericksburg and Austin, and Blanco State Park on the Blanco River draws day-trippers on summer weekends. A foreign man who shows up to wine trail weekends finds an upscale tourist crowd from Austin and San Antonio that's more open to meeting someone new than the permanent population would be.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Blanco County has 12,000 people, mostly retirement and rural. The wine tourism has brought some infrastructure — restaurants and event venues — but the permanent social scene is thin. LBJ's boyhood home is a draw for history tourists. The county skews wealthy and older in its permanent demographic.
Lower score (below 6)
Twelve thousand people, many retired, with a social life built around established families and their Hill Country properties. A foreign man without a Texas Hill Country social network — the kind built at the Fredericksburg wine weekends and LCRA lake associations — has very limited entry points into the permanent community here.
