[constituency_baseline] District summary: Tennessee's 1st Congressional District encompasses the northeastern corner of the state, including all of Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and Washington counties, plus parts of Jefferson and Sevier counties. The district is home to approximately 782,000 constituents and is rated R+30 by the Cook Partisan Voting Index — making it the most Republican district in Tennessee. The median age is 43.9 years (older than the national average of 38.5), and the population is predominantly White (89.4%). The median household income is $57,829, which is above the national median of $37,585, though this masks significant rural poverty. Only 23.2% of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher, significantly below the 33.7% national average. Homeownership is high at 72.2% (vs. 65.5% nationally), and the district has a median commute time of 24.9 minutes. The district has struggled with the opioid epidemic and rural hospital strain, and manufacturing and healthcare are dominant economic drivers.
