Is Kingsport good for remote workers?

Alright, Been living here since 2015. Crime rate is something to consider -Kingsport sits at 612.3 per 100K. Median household income is $50,436, which feels on the lower side for the area. Homes are going for about $203,000 on average. The unemployment rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 9 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is safety. Other than that, No regrets on my end..
