Newport is a somewhat small city located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 6,954 people and five associated neighborhoods, Newport is the 90th largest community in Tennessee.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.58% 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.

As is often the case in a small city, Newport doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In Newport, just 9.06% of people over 25 hold a college degree, which is very low compared to the rest of the nation, whereas the average among all cities is 21.84%.

The per capita income in Newport in 2022 was $25,221, which is lower middle income relative to Tennessee, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $100,884 for a family of four. However, Newport contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
