Northern Florida is about the most redneck place you'll find anywhere. Trailer parks, restaurants that serve fried catfish, fat people with tattoos, you name it.

Why does everyone have to stereotype a place? If people are happy where they are and with what they are doing that should be all that matters. Anybody knocking "redneck" areas are truly the most backward people IMO.

Fried catfish = Redneck

Interesting correlation. Thank you for your well thought out response.

If they're living their lives and happy, what's it to you?

lol@this thread.

Half of those cities have black populations of AT LEAST 40%, with quite a few being much higher.

The only sensible answer is Cookeville, TN.

Cookeville, TN Demographics
White alone - 22,999 (86.9%)
Hispanic - 1,693 (6.4%)
Asian alone - 701 (2.6%)
Black alone - 622 (2.4%)
Two or more races - 310 (1.2%)
American alone - 114 (0.4%)
Other race alone - 27 (0.1%)



If you're actually insider the city limits of Jackson, Little Rock, Augusta, Fayetteville (NC), Birmingham, Montgomery, Jacksonville, Tallahassse, or Charleston (SC), you're more likely
to encounter dreadheads with gold teeth and 24 inch rims on an old school car than you are a redneck.

It's not "anything to me". I'm not the one who started the topic and created the poll, which I guess you haven't noticed. I was just answering the question.

New York has many towns with rednecks, hillbillies and hicks just like every other state.
I'm a native new yorker and there are places within 1 hour of NYC that are pretty read neck. There are towns in the Taconic Mountains and the Catskills where people all have the same last name, have similar physiological features and speak with a southern type drawl.

Where can I vote "none of the above"?

Do people honestly think any of those towns are "dominated" by redneck or hick culture?

Even in some towns where there are a lot of hicks and rednecks (very small towns, mountain towns etc), I'm not sure the culture is dominating.

What an insult to the millions of people that live in the cities listed...

I didn't vote, but I looked at the poll results. Little Rock, AR is actually a pretty nice city.

I think a lot of you need to get out more.
