What it’s like

The place. Tyner is a small community in Jackson County, in the hill country of Kentucky. Across the county, the typical resident is in middle age, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Typical home values are modest compared with much of the country, and a considerable share of residents live below the poverty line.

Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, or in shops. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs across the county slipped slightly in the most recent year. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and few people work from home, so most commute to work, often over longer distances than many Americans travel.

Things to do. Daniel Boone National Forest, a protected area, is a short drive away and offers woods and trails for walking and camping. Natural Bridge State Resort Park, also a protected area, lies a longer drive off, and Beech Creek, a river, is likewise a longer drive for those who want to spend time on the water. Winters here are cold, with the coldest weather in January, while summers are warm and rain falls often through the year, so many visitors prefer spring or autumn.
