Lincoln
7.1
High score (8-10)
Lincoln County's Merrill is in north-central Wisconsin and has been slowly declining since its heyday as a logging and manufacturing center. The city has about 9,000 people and some manufacturing employment, but the county is rural and remote. The social scene is northwoods conventional — hunting, fishing, bars that have been there for decades, and very tight local networks.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Merrill is a quiet small city with some manufacturing and healthcare employment. The Tomahawk River and Hiawatha Trail provide outdoor recreation draw for certain demographics. But the county is isolated and the social scene is entirely local-network-based without a university or major employer refreshing it.
Lower score (below 6)
Lincoln County is remote northwoods Wisconsin with a declining population and an economy that hasn't fully replaced its logging-era base.
