Bottom line

Fort Campbell North's strongest point is commutes that run shorter than most cities; the main tradeoffs are county unemployment above the national average and household incomes below the national average. A year of median rent ($1,529/mo) equals 31% of the median household income here, more than the 21% typical nationwide. It tends to suit people who want short commutes. It may be a harder fit for anyone moving without a job lined up.
