Knoxville has become one of the ten fastest-growing US cities, with a population gain of near 1% per year. In just a few years, Knoxville’s population has soared to over 200,300 in 2024. This remarkable growth can be attributed to the city’s appeal to both retirees and young professionals. With a median age of 33, Knoxville offers a diverse community, with nearly 45% of its population aged between 20 and 40 years old.
One of the most iconic landmarks in Knoxville is the Sunsphere, built for the 1982 World’s Fair. It stands 266 feet tall and offers stunning 360-degree views of the city from its observation deck. The World’s Fair Park, where the Sunsphere is located, is now a popular gathering spot for events and festivals. The nearby Knoxville Convention Center also hosts a variety of events, from trade shows to concerts.
Knoxville has a thriving arts and culture scene, with several theaters, galleries, and museums scattered throughout the city. The Knoxville Museum of Art exhibits a collection of regional and national art, while the Tennessee Theatre hosts Broadway shows, concerts, and other performances. The Bijou Theatre, a historic music venue, also attracts a diverse range of artists and musicians.
Knoxville is also known for its love of sports. The University of Tennessee is located in Knoxville, and its college football team, the Volunteers, draws in large crowds on game days. The city is also home to the Knoxville Ice Bears, a professional hockey team, and the Tennessee Smokies, a Minor League Baseball team.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Knoxville is a paradise. The city is home to numerous parks, greenways, and waterways, providing endless opportunities for recreation. The Ijams Nature Center is a 315-acre urban sanctuary where visitors can hike, bike, and kayak. The Urban Wilderness, a connected network of more than 50 miles of recreational trails, offers a variety of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and birdwatching.
In recent years, Knoxville has been recognized as one of the best cities in the United States to live, work and play. It offers a perfect blend of urban amenities and natural beauty, making it an ideal place for both residents and visitors. The cost of living in Knoxville is relatively low compared to other major cities, making it an ideal place for young professionals and families. With its rich culture, strong economy, and welcoming community, it’s no wonder Knoxville has become a top destination for those looking to experience the best of the southern charm.
