What it’s like
The place. Corryton is a town in Knox County, Tennessee, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold but bring only light snowfall, and summers are hot. Rain falls often through the year, so the landscape stays green.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in professional and business services. Shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employ many people across Knox County. A good share of adults hold a degree, and most people commute to work rather than working from home.

Dollywood, an amusement park also a longer drive away, draws visitors from far off. Norris Lake, a reservoir a longer drive away, offers open water for boating and quiet days by the shore.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Knox County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Knox County and the Knoxville, TN metro.
