What it’s like

The place. Allons is a small town in Clay County, in the hilly upper part of Tennessee near the Kentucky line. Across the county, the typical resident is older than most Americans, and most homes are lived in by the people who own them. Household incomes run below the county's and the national norm, and a larger share of households live below the poverty line than across the country. The winters are cold, the summers are warm, snow is rare, and rain falls often.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in manufacturing, and in shops. Unemployment is lower than it was a year ago, though the county had fewer jobs in the most recent year than before. Fewer adults hold a college degree than across most of the country, and few people work from home.

Things to do. Standing Stone State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is among the best known places to visit nearby. Dale Hollow Lake State Park, also a protected area a short drive away, sits by the reservoir. For a longer outing, Lake Cumberland is a reservoir a longer drive away.
