Pepin
7.0
High score (8-10)
Pepin County is the smallest Wisconsin county by area with a population of about 7,500. Pepin, the county seat, sits on Lake Pepin (a widening of the Mississippi River) and is the birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder, which brings some literary tourism. Stockholm is a tiny artisan village with a few galleries. The permanent population is minuscule and the social scene is effectively nonexistent.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Pepin County's Lake Pepin shoreline and Stockholm's small arts scene draw day-trippers from the Twin Cities and La Crosse. But the permanent population is tiny and the social life is almost entirely local-family-based. There's no economic anchor or university keeping any kind of critical social mass here.
Lower score (below 6)
Pepin County is one of the smallest and most rural counties in Wisconsin. The social scene is literally just a few small towns on the Mississippi River bluffs. Beautiful geography, completely closed social networks. An outsider here has no entry point beyond knowing someone who already lives in the county.
