Iron
6.1
High score (8-10)
Iron County is one of Wisconsin's most remote and economically depressed counties. Hurley, the county seat, was historically known as one of the roughest border towns on the Wisconsin-Michigan line, with a strip club and brothel history serving miners. The mining economy is long gone and what's left is a small, aging, economically struggling population. The winters here are some of the harshest in Wisconsin.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Iron County's Hurley sits on the Michigan border and had a wild historical reputation from the mining era. That's largely gone now. What remains is a very small population, some snowmobile tourism, and an economy that doesn't provide much. The social scene is minimal.
Lower score (below 6)
Iron County has been losing population for decades with no economic replacement for the mining industry. Hurley is a very small border town with a rough historical reputation now replaced mostly by quiet economic struggle. The winters are brutal and the social scene for an outsider is effectively zero.
