Bosque
7.2
High score (8-10)
Lake Whitney on the county's eastern edge draws fishing and camping tourism from the DFW Metroplex on weekends. A foreign man who shows up to lake weekends in the summer finds Dallas and Fort Worth visitors in a recreational context where meeting new people is natural. It's not a county you build a life in, but it has seasonal social utility.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Bosque County has 18,000 people in Central Texas between Waco and Stephenville. Meridian is the county seat. The economy is agricultural with some manufacturing. The lake tourism provides weekends of social activity but the permanent town life is very small-scale.
