These Are The Highest-Earning Cities In Tennessee

Most high-paying jobs are associated with bigger cities, and while that may typically be the case, there are smaller cities outside of major metropolitan areas that also have jobs that pay well. Using data gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau, Stacker compiled a list of the 20 highest-earning cities in Tennessee, including one town in the mid-state that took the top spot.

According to the website, where a person lives plays a "substantial" factor in what they can earn and that "data shows that annual income depends heavily on an individual's educational attainment, race, ethnicity, gender, and even location."
