About the RegionUpper South

Tennessee has become one of the most-watched states for domestic relocation. Nashville's explosive growth reflects its status as a major entertainment hub and Tennessee's zero personal income tax, while Chattanooga and Knoxville have built distinct identities around outdoor culture and post-industrial reinvention. The Great Smoky Mountains — the most visited national park in the country — anchor a regional tourism economy and define the geography of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina.

Kentucky sits at the confluence of Southern culture, Appalachian heritage, and Midwest pragmatism. Louisville's bourbon trail and horse country around Lexington give the state an identity that punches above its economic weight. West Virginia's New River Gorge and Seneca Rocks have drawn a new wave of outdoor tourists and remote workers, though much of the state continues to navigate the long-term economic consequences of coal's decline.
