Richland
7.4
High score (8-10)
Richland County in the Driftless Area has Richland Center as its county seat — the birthplace of Frank Lloyd Wright. The small city of about 5,000 has done little with that architectural heritage in terms of building a cultural economy. The county is agricultural and rural, one of the smaller economies in Wisconsin, with a social scene entirely based on local family networks.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Richland Center has a Frank Lloyd Wright birthplace museum that draws some architecture tourists. The Driftless Area scenery is legitimately beautiful. But the county is small and economically struggling, and the social life is entirely local-community-based with no university or major employer refreshing it.
Lower score (below 6)
Richland County is economically thin and declining. The Frank Lloyd Wright birthplace connection hasn't translated into any meaningful cultural economy. The social scene is entirely multigenerational local family-based and the county has been losing population for years. There is no entry point here for an outsider starting cold.
