Springville is a very small town located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 4,709 people and two associated neighborhoods, Springville is the 124th largest community in Tennessee.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.71% 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.
Another notable thing is that Springville is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
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, Springville has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Springville a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
As is often the case in a small town, Springville doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The percentage of adults in Springville with college degrees is slightly lower than the national average of 21.84% for all communities. 15.95% of adults in Springville have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Springville in 2022 was $31,809, which is upper middle income relative to Tennessee, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $127,236 for a family of four. However, Springville contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
