Iowa
7.3
High score (8-10)
Iowa County's Mineral Point was the first major settlement in Wisconsin during the 19th-century lead rush and has a genuine reputation as an arts colony — Cornish immigrant miners built the stone buildings that now house galleries and studios. Spring Green sits in the county too, home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin. Both are intelligent, artsy small communities, but microscopic in social scope.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Iowa County has unusual cultural credentials for a rural Wisconsin county — Mineral Point's arts scene and Spring Green's Taliesin architecture connection attract a certain type of educated, aesthetically-minded visitor. The county is beautiful Driftless Area terrain. But with under 24,000 people, the social scene is tiny regardless of its cultural flavor.
Lower score (below 6)
Iowa County's Mineral Point and Spring Green are artsy, intelligent small communities that are also completely insular. The arts colony reputation means the social scene is tight within a specific counter-cultural world, not open to outsiders in general. The county's permanent population is tiny and declining.
