Rockwood is a somewhat small city located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 5,538 people and three associated neighborhoods, Rockwood is the 108th largest community in Tennessee.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.56% 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.

It is a fairly quiet city because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Rockwood has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Rockwood has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Rockwood than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Rockwood may be for you.

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