I moved to rural, Tennessee 3 years ago from rural South Texas & I couldn’t be happier. Crime is everywhere, but so are nice people. At least in rural TN I’ve found that law enforcement still exists and people still go to church. All of our neighbors have been wonderful and we help each other with everything. Where I lived in Texas for 25 years, everyone kept to themselves & drug crimes were much more prevalent. The natural beauty here cancels out most of the bad stuff.

I live in East Tennessee and love to drive the country roads on my motorcycle. Some of the poverty I see is seems different than the inner city poverty of the north. My observation is that a lot of the rural poverty is made up of people who have a strong desire for independence. Certainly they would want more money but many won’t give up that independence for more money. Just my opinion.

@@davidtoney8399 you're right unfortunately. Keep a close eye on your city council - attend every meeting. They will sell huge pieces of property when they think no one is paying attention. That's how publix managed to get part of our nature park's property (when there is AMPLE space to build a stupid grocery store). It started when I was in high school, and we protested it for years. Then after we all graduated and went to college they took their opportunity, and now part of our history is covered in concrete. Johnny Cash used to visit our park when he wanted some peace and quiet. We used to perform a play every year about the woman who founded the park - she restored a huge piece of land and planted all the trees. She grew a forest, and they are just merrily cutting it down for profit. They also tore down a free music venue that had been standing for nearly 50 years that did live shows every weekend for the same stupid project (they replaced the venue with a gas station and waffle house. Because who needs culture?). We already had two grocery stores in a town with well under 10,000 people at the time, and a wide variety of other options just 20 minutes away. Then a couple years later they added a Walmart (one of those other options btw...in 2 different directions), and its been downhill ever since. I want to move further out, but I feel like that makes me just as bad as those jerks so here I sit as my town goes to shit. They are currently building 3 subdivisions on my street alone, and not even talking about widening the roads or building another school. Money grubbung dirt bags. 😒 It's like people want me to hate them. I used to know every person I saw when I left my house, and now I'm lucky if I see one person I've ever even seen before and the natural beauty is totally ruined. They don't even do volunteer work like the locals used to, so this year we aren't going to have our annual nature festival, or a Christmas parade either. Guard your town with all you've got. Once they start it doesn't stop until they take over literally everything, and all the culture and soul of the town is just destroyed in the name of "progress" 🤬

I really find these videos interesting. You regularly refer to homes as “nice” or “livable,” but those terms can be very subjective, given individual standards. It would be great if you found some photos of houses from Zillow (or others) of recently sold homes that represent your descriptions.

Like I said not calling you a narcissist, but you did pull this 50% shit out of your ass. Interestingly, while the research shows a reduction in serious injuries, overall incidents of domestic violence did not decline. Copy and pasted that from most likely the same article you read cause it’s the only one that says anything about weed legalization related to domestic violence, STOP exaggerating so much

So excited about this one. I am also interested in the eventual Louisiana, given all you have said so far about it. Hooray for Briggs!

The owners of one of what used to be the downtown gas station, has a big Tire shop on the bypass in this area now. About the only thing exciting in Bethel anymore is Ada's Country Store (a Mennonite owned store & like the Tire shop it's on up the bypass.) We moved out of Bethel when I was a teenager, but it was just a 5 minute drive into Selmer. What happened after we left, (we still had family, friends, & neighbors that lived there.)

As for the "good people" of these small towns (not just Tennessee, but every state,) you will note that uniformly they tend to be prouder of what they are not than what they are. Rather telling.

I was born in Chattanooga,TN and we moved just across the state line into Graysville,Ga and now I live in Birchwood,TN

I wonder how accurate crime stats are, especially in small towns. I could easily see occasional statistical or reporting anomalies from small sample size. Do you have any way to check year to year stats? One possible check is to compare rates in the county v.s. the town to see if there is a big disparity.

All the statistics are skewed against small town USA. Crime statics where made for use in big cities usually # of crimes per 100,000 population. Which means with a population of a couple hundred to a couple thousand it only takes 1 crime to have a major jump statistically. As for poverty its also relative to wages and cost of living. Most know that COL is lower in small town USA, but because the same poverty threshold is used for big cities and small towns of course its going to throw a big statistical number for small towns. So using these statistics to rate small towns is completely incorrect.

Hey! I asked for best! Haha! I like worst too. Like most of your vids. Always great research.

Your stats may be factually correct but very misleading. Hopefully no one takes you seriously because you make assumptions on places you’ve never been.

Niota is actually the home of Harry T. Burn, the state representative that cast the tie breaking vote giving women the right to vote. His vote made Tennessee the “perfect 36th” state necessary to pass the 19th amendment. They later completed the cycle electing an all female city council and were featured on many national news outlets and morning shows. Niota is a small town with a country club and beautiful churches. It is also home to the oldest train depot in Tennessee with bullet holes in it from the Civil War. The oldest family owned hosiery mill left in the United States is also in Niota. When all the hosiery mills shut down due to foreign imports they went upscale. Unfortunately, many of Niota’s charming older homes are now rental units. The future does look bright with several large housing developments being built.

Love your content!! Can you do Maryland? I grew up there and would love to see what your data thinks!

I've lived in Middle TN for about 12 years now. Most crime is around meth and fentanyl. Lots of lazy country youth! The older generations were hard working, god fearing good folk. I've met some of the nicest people ever here! Also seen one loser drug addict destroy an entire neighborhood and the cops won't do a thing...meaningful. Very sad when so few people and have such a negative impact on an otherwise nice place to live. By and large, this is much the same as rural Washington state where I was born and lived for 50 years. Unfortunately, Washington went off the deep end with Woke/Democrat policies that have taken a toll on one of the most beautiful places in the country.

It's Bale Ton. And its a great little place to live, quiet and friendly.

You should look into how they come up with these rates! Low population & a few crimes can seriously skew numbers/statistics.

I wonder how those properties are that expensive. Who is willing to pay that much, except farmers, to live there? Drug entrepreneurs? Many years ago I was told a guy running for office in that era's recession was well known for running drugs in his small plane up from Mexico, a plane that was at that time impounded while he awaited his trial. He advised me public office was a good paying job in hard times and I ought to try it. He registered me to vote, and I signed the form on the hood of his car. His campaign slogan was the utterly delightful, "Don't believe everything you hear about me." :D More politicians should use that one.
