Anderson County, Tennessee (two-site context)

What this entity is: A county-level operating object for the East Tennessee two-site package — survey and regional statistics, not a substitute for parcel deeds or zoning on a specific address. Use it to ground ballpark economics and service-economy expectations for the SITE_HOME anchor at Claxton home base (place).

Role in the two-site system

Known facts (vault-aligned)

  • 2024 NASS (TN county table): Non-irrigated cropland cash rent $28.50/ac county estimate for Anderson; irrigated and pasture rows not published (--) in this release — nass-cash-rents-all-crops-tn-2024.pdf; NASS cash rents TN 2024.
  • Geography (qualitative): County includes Oak Ridge and sits in the Knoxville MSA orbit for broad labor and services access — does not predict any single rural line or ISP outcome.

Assumptions

  • “Better services than Campbell” is a planning bias, not a rule — verify broadband, power, and drive-time service at your homestead footprint.

Key decisions tied to this county (planning)

  • Use county NASS rows only as comps / ballpark, never as lease terms or field quality — decisions belong in contracts and field verification (see comparison page).
  • Default broker / records / staging posture for SITE_HOME is consistent with Anderson context — still device-level truth is local.
