What it’s like
The place. Clarkrange is a very small community on Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, in Fentress County. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and some snow falls each year. Summers are warm, with July the warmest month. Rain and melted snow are plentiful across the year. Homes here are valued well above what household incomes across the county might suggest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by retail, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Fentress County, the largest workplaces include Fentress County Schools, Walmart and Signature Healthcare. Unemployment across the county is about where it stood a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Outdoor places are the main draw, and all of them are a longer drive away. Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area is a large protected area of gorges and rivers, and Ozone Falls is a waterfall for a shorter outing. Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park is a protected area that recalls one of the region's best-known figures.
