6–12 points: “LC Familiar”
You’ve spent some time here, maybe even called it home, but you’re still learning where Chalybeate ends and Caddo begins.
13–17 points: “Certified Lawrence Countian”
You’ve earned your small-town badge. You pronounce all the backroads right, and you’ve got a Chicken Foot story of your own.
18–20 points: “LC Legend”
Born and raised or just deeply seasoned—you are Lawrence County. You bleed sweet tea, know where the potholes are, and still miss Texas Burger.
