Northeastern Tennessee city in the Tri-Cities region (with Johnson City and Bristol) — anchored by Eastman Chemical Company (Tennessee Eastman Division, the largest plant in Kingsport). Downtown Kingsport and the area near the historic 1908 plan grid are the small walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Tennessee has no state income tax (the Hall Tax was repealed in 2021). The structural draws are Appalachian-foothill geography, Tennessee Eastman employment density, and meaningfully cheap pricing. Nomad relevance is low.
