What it’s like
The place. Baneberry is a very small town in Jefferson County, with far fewer residents than most towns. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes run well above the county's, with a below-average share of people living in poverty. Winters are cold but short on snow, summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, government and manufacturing. Across Jefferson County, the largest workplaces include Jefferson County Schools, Carson-Newman University and Bush Brothers. The usual trip to work is long, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Nolichucky River and the Pigeon River are both a short drive away and suit time on the water. Farther afield, Cherokee Lake is a reservoir, and Dollywood is an amusement park a longer drive off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Baneberry’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Jefferson County and the Morristown, TN metro.
