Jacksboro is Campbell County's seat, and mountains wall off Jellico, its town on the Kentucky line, from the rest of the county. Eighty-nine residents died of drug overdoses in 2020 to 2022, when life expectancy in the county stood at 68.6 years, about five below Tennessee's 73.5. Where no city tax applies, the county's 2025 property tax takes about 0.3% of a home's appraised value a year.
