   All the interviews from Springfield, Ohio are boomers and silents.
   Is there nobody under 65 in that town?

     @judgedread @SpoopyAnon Looks like a very depressed area in the first place according to poverty, income and home prices.
     
     It would seem to me that plopping a bunch of new arrivals (even if they were White and highly qualified) into a place that clearly has something structural going wrong economically is a bad idea unless that underlying issue is fixed first.
