What it’s like
The place. Winfield is a very small town in Scott County, Tennessee, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Incomes across the county run below the county's neighbors in much of the state, and homes are priced modestly. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and only a small number work from home. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and a little snow most years. Summers are warm, with July the hottest month, and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Scott County, the largest workplaces include Scott County Schools, Great Dane Trailers in Huntsville, and Walmart. Work has been somewhat harder to find lately, with fewer jobs across the county than the year before and unemployment a little higher than a year ago.
Things to do. A short drive away are the Big South Fork Scenic Railway, a museum, and Blue Heron, another museum. A longer drive brings you to Cumberland Falls, a well-known waterfall, and to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, a large protected area good for time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Winfield’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 Scott County.
