Grant
6.2
High score (8-10)
Platteville has UW-Platteville, with strong engineering and agriculture programs and an unusually male-skewed student body. The city also has 19th-century mining history and some decent downtown infrastructure. The university is the main social entry point — without it the county is conventional rural southwest Wisconsin.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Grant County is rural southwest Wisconsin — Driftless Area bluffs and agricultural land with Platteville as the only city of any size. The UW-Platteville campus creates a college-town energy in Platteville, but the rest of the county is small-town conservative. The university is your social anchor here or you don't have one.
Lower score (below 6)
Grant County outside of Platteville's campus has no social infrastructure for outsiders. Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River is historically significant but economically thin. The county is beautiful geographically but the social scene beyond the university is built on multigenerational local family networks that aren't set up for newcomers.
