What it’s like

The place. Yosemite is a small community in Casey County, in south-central Kentucky, and it shares its name with the well-known national park in California. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, more so than in many places, and a minority of households rent. Across Casey County, household incomes are modest, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than in most places. The population skews toward the older end, with more residents past middle age than younger.

Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehousing and utilities. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, and job numbers have edged up slightly. Relatively few adults hold a four-year degree, and few people work from home, so most commute to a workplace, typically a moderate drive. The winters are cold, with light snow, and the summers are warm, with plenty of rain through the year.

Things to do. The Green River and the Salt River both lie a longer drive away and offer waterside outings. Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument, a protected area a longer drive away, marks a Civil War battle site. Pioneer Playhouse, a theatre also a longer drive away, offers live performances.
