Taylor
6.1
High score (8-10)
Grafton is Anna Jarvis's hometown, where Mother's Day originated, and the county sits on I-79 between Clarksburg and Morgantown — the highway position creates commuter and traveler traffic that interior WV counties don't see. Small market but the I-79 corridor makes everything in this stretch of WV more accessible than it looks on a map.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Grafton is notable as Anna Jarvis's hometown and sits on I-79 between Clarksburg and Morgantown, giving it highway accessibility. The county has about 16,000 residents. But Grafton itself is a declining railroad town of about 5,000 that peaked in the early 20th century. The I-79 position means residents drive to Morgantown or Clarksburg for social life; the highway access is useful but Taylor County itself is a pass-through.
Lower score (below 6)
Grafton is a declining railroad town of about 5,000 that peaked in the early 20th century — the Mother's Day origin story is its main tourism hook and it generates no actual social scene. Taylor County sits on I-79 between Clarksburg and Morgantown, which means residents drive to those markets for anything social. The most social thing that happens in Taylor County is that residents leave for the weekend. Follow their lead.
