Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Campbell County was coal country and the mines are largely gone, leaving an Appalachian economy in difficult transition. LaFollette has some manufacturing that survived deindustrialization. The county is close enough to Knoxville that some residents commute, but not close enough to benefit from Knox County's growth meaningfully. The opioid crisis has hit this county hard according to public health reporting.
