Natrona
7.2
High score (8-10)
Casper is Wyoming's oil industry capital and second-largest city — about 60,000 people — and the energy boom-bust cycle means people actually come and go here in ways they don't in agricultural counties, creating more social fluidity. The downtown has real restaurants and bars that function as actual social spaces. The outdoor access to Casper Mountain and proximity to multiple trout fisheries means there's an outdoors-active demographic alongside the energy workers, giving you two different social lanes to operate in.

Casper is Wyoming's second city and the oil capital of the state — 60,000 people, a functioning downtown, and an energy economy that creates enough workforce turnover to keep the social scene from being completely static. There's more than one bar here and they actually have customers. The overall environment is conservative and the social scene organizes around work and outdoor recreation, but you have enough population density that meeting people is actually possible. Not a city, but more than a town.

Casper is Wyoming's oil hub and second largest city at 60,000, which is the most functional social environment in the state after Cheyenne. But 60,000 in a deeply conservative energy town means the social scene is limited: bars that close early, a dating pool that's heavily tied into existing social networks, and a cultural baseline that doesn't particularly reward novelty. For someone used to actual cities, Casper's version of a scene feels like a dry run.
