Trempealeau
6.6
High score (8-10)
Trempealeau County in western Wisconsin has Arcadia and Whitehall as its main towns. Arcadia has a significant meatpacking industry (and Ashley Furniture has a major manufacturing operation here) that has brought a large Hispanic community from Mexico and Central America, creating an unusual demographic mix in an otherwise rural Midwest county. But this has created parallel communities that don't particularly mix.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Trempealeau County has the unusual combination of a significant Hispanic working population (from meatpacking) and a traditional German and Norwegian rural white community. These communities coexist but operate largely separately. The county is agricultural and the social scene is thin outside of those specific community networks.
Lower score (below 6)
Trempealeau County's parallel community structure — long-established German and Norwegian families alongside a newer Hispanic meatpacking workforce — doesn't create a cosmopolitan social scene. It creates two separate insular communities. An outsider doesn't fit naturally into either, and there's no urban center or university to create neutral social ground.
