Overview Rockford is a tiny city located in the state of Tennessee. With a population of 819 people and just one neighborhood, Rockford is the 294th largest community in Tennessee. Occupations and Workforce Unlike some cities, Rockford isn鈥檛 mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Rockford are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Rockford is a city of sales and office workers, service providers, and transportation and shipping workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Rockford who work in food service (12.63%), management occupations (11.08%), and office and administrative support (10.82%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.25% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes. Setting & Lifestyle Residents will find that the city is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Rockford is worth considering. As is often the case in a small city, Rockford doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
