About Denmark
Denmark is a very small town located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 1,619 people and just one neighborhood, Denmark is the 254th largest community in Tennessee.
Because occupations involving physical labor dominate the local economy, Denmark is generally considered to be a blue-collar town. 41.31% of the Denmark workforce is employed in blue-collar occupations, compared to the national average of 27.7%. Overall, Denmark is a town of professionals, service providers and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in Denmark who work in healthcare (12.91%), office and administrative support (8.69%) and food service (7.86%).
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Denmark has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Denmark has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Denmark than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Denmark may be for you.
As is often the case in a small town, Denmark doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The education level of Denmark citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 19.20% of adults 25 and older in Denmark have a college degree.
The per capita income in Denmark in 2010 was $20,908, which is upper middle income relative to Tennessee, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $83,632 for a family of four.
Denmark is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Denmark home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Denmark residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Denmark include Irish, English, Scots-Irish and German.
The most common language spoken in Denmark is English. Some people also speak Spanish.
