What it’s like
The place. Maynardville is a small city and the seat of Union County, Tennessee. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a little snow each year, while summers are warm and the year is a wet one.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, professional and business services, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Maynardville are Union County Schools, K VA T Food Stores and Genesis Healthcare. Commutes tend to be long, and the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier.
Things to do. Norris Lake, a reservoir, and Big Ridge State Park are both a short drive away, which makes the water and the woods easy to reach. For a day out in the city, Zoo Knoxville and the Museum of Appalachia 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 Maynardville’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 Union County and the Knoxville, TN metro.
