Living in Rockwood



Rockwood is a somewhat small city located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 5,538 people and three associated neighborhoods, Rockwood is the 108th largest community in Tennessee.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.56% 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.

Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Rockwood is worth considering.

Being a small city, Rockwood does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The rate of college-level education in Rockwood is quite a bit lower than the national average among all cities of 21.84%: just 11.11% of people here over 25 have a bachelor's degree or an advanced degree.

The per capita income in Rockwood in 2018 was $28,667, which is middle income relative to Tennessee, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $114,668 for a family of four. However, Rockwood contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
