What it’s like
The place. Robbins is a very small community in Scott County, Tennessee, and its residents are older on the whole than people in most American towns. Homes here are modestly priced compared with much of the country, and household incomes across Scott County sit below the typical American level. Winters are cold, with a little snow, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall generously through the year.
Work. Across Scott County, jobs are slightly fewer than a year earlier, and unemployment has edged up a little over the past year. Residents of Robbins work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces across the county include Scott County Schools, Great Dane Trailers in Huntsville, and Walmart.
Things to do. Clear Fork, a river, is a short drive away and is the nearest of the outdoor places in the area. A longer drive brings you to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, a large protected area of river gorge and forest. Cove Lake State Park is another protected area a longer drive away, and the American Museum of Science and Energy is a museum 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 Robbins’ 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 Scott County and the Knoxville, TN metro.
