Living in Lexington



Lexington is a somewhat small city located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 7,952 people and three constituent neighborhoods, Lexington is the 78th largest community in Tennessee.

Also of interest is that Lexington has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.98% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Lexington has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Lexington a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

As is often the case in a small city, Lexington doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The citizens of Lexington are slightly less educated than the national average of 21.84% for the average city or town: 13.95% of adults in Lexington have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree
