What it’s like
The place. Yeaddiss is a small town in Leslie County, in the hills of eastern Kentucky. Across the county, the typical resident is older than in many parts of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and snowy at times, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Across Leslie County, household incomes are below the national typical level, and a larger share of people live below the poverty line than across the country. Jobs fell last year, while unemployment has eased somewhat, and many residents work in schools, hospitals, shops, farming, forestry, mining and manufacturing. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, commutes are longer than most, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Kentenia State Forest, a protected area a short drive away, is one of the nearest outdoor places to the town. Lilley Cornett Woods, a park a longer drive away, and Kingdom Come State Park, another protected area a longer drive off, offer more ground to explore.

Natural hazards
- LandslidesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Leslie County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Leslie County.
