Crime rate is something to consider — Knoxville sits at 667.3 per 100K. Household incomes average around $50,994 in Knoxville. It's a a mid-size city city with about 194K people. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I wrong here? Thanks in advance! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much.
