What it’s like
The place. Loudon is a small city in East Tennessee, and more of its homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Typical home values and rents are high for a town this size, and a fair number of residents live below the poverty line. Most adults do not hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool, with a little snow, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in town are Loudon County Schools, MalibuBoats and Viskase. Unemployment across Loudon County is about where it was a year ago, the county has added a few more jobs, and most people have a commute of a fairly short drive, with only a few working from home.
Things to do. Sweetwater Creek runs in or beside town, and the Little Tennessee River and Bussell Island, an archaeological site, are a short drive away. For a longer outing, Neyland Stadium and Manhattan Project National Historical Park are a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Loudon’s census tracts, 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 Loudon County and the Knoxville, TN metro.
