Walworth
6.6
High score (8-10)
Walworth County's Lake Geneva has been Chicago's playground since the Gilded Age — wealthy Chicago families built estates on the lake in the 1870s and the tradition of Chicago money flowing here has never stopped. The town of Lake Geneva has a restaurant and hotel scene operating at a level far above what a city of 8,000 would normally support, and the weekend crowd from Chicago is consistently well-heeled and social.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Lake Geneva's upscale weekend culture is real but seasonal and transient — the social energy is driven by out-of-town visitors who aren't building local relationships. During the week in the off-season, it's a quiet small town. The permanent resident community is separate from the resort economy.
Lower score (below 6)
Walworth County outside of Lake Geneva proper is agricultural and small-town conventional. Delavan has a different character than Lake Geneva and the surrounding county is dairy farming and conservative Republican territory. The Chicago weekend crowd doesn't create lasting social infrastructure for someone who isn't arriving from Chicago.
