What it’s like
The place. Baileyton is a very small town in Greene County, in the hills of northeast Tennessee. Residents are somewhat older than the typical American, and the household incomes across Greene County sit below the national picture. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops, with others in professional and business services. Across Greene County, some of the largest workplaces are Landair Transport, Greene County Schools and John Deere Power Products. Jobs across the county slipped slightly last year, and unemployment in Greene County is a little higher than it was a year earlier. Most people drive to work, and the trip is a fairly typical one, while some work from home.
Things to do. Winters are cold, with some light snow, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain through the year. For a day out, the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site is a protected area on a longer drive away, and the Nolichucky River is a river reached the same way. Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive from town.
