Thanks for any useful help

Franklin, NC is a town of approximately 3,000 people, in western North Carolina. It is the county seat of Macon County - a rural county of about 30,000 people. It's located in a gorgeous part of western NC, and much of the county is Nantahala Forest. It is definitely mountainous.
Nearest cities: Atlanta, GA, Asheville, NC. Nearest large towns would be Waynesville, NC on the way to Asheville, and Gainesville, GA on the way to Atlanta. You can also get to Greenville, SC but that's further away than Asheville or Atlanta.
Is it diverse? Depends upon what you mean by diverse. It is mostly white, Christian.
The county is not a terribly poor county but there are very few jobs and the main industry is tourism, with its accompanying low paying jobs.
What else do you want to know about Franklin? Is this the Franklin you were thinking of?
