New Opportunities Kentucky and Tennessee The Nashville region is defined by a diverse economy, low costs of living and doing business, a creative culture and a well-educated population. A thriving job market (38% job growth since 2009) and an exploding entertainment scene bring thousands of residents to work in healthcare at the area's large hospitals and research centers, small startups, and business accelerator programs. Fifty miles north of Nashville lies Clarksville, Money Magazine’s #1 Best Place to Live in 2019. The average age of a Clarksville resident is only 29 and according to the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce, the city is ranked #3 in the nation for millennial home sales. Approximately one in every two Clarksville mortgages was closed by a millennial. Thousands of Nashville commuters live in Clarksville and more are moving there every day. In between Clarksville, Tennessee and Hopkinsville, Kentucky lies Fort Campbell. With 180,000 active duty and retired military and their family members living on or around the base, it is one of the largest military installations in the world.
