Cosby is a tiny town located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 807 people and two associated neighborhoods, Cosby is the 297th largest community in Tennessee.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.39% 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 town 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, Cosby has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Cosby a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
