Living in Martin


Martin is a medium-sized city located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 10,989 people and five associated neighborhoods, Martin is the 60th largest community in Tennessee.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.39% 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.

Martin is a small town where college students really create the town feel and character. So many small towns have lost population over the last 20-30 years that having the local college presence in the Martin area, with all of the energy of the students filling area dorms and apartments each fall, really helps Martin maintain a good economy.
