This part of Eastern Kentucky is literally one of the two poorest counties not only in Kentucky but in America. Most of the poorest counties in America are on tribal reservations, 8 of the top 10 I believe, but Clay County and Whitley County in Kentucky are two of the poorest, top 20, and looking at them you wonder how it got so bad. The reason, more than the loss of coal jobs, is drugs. You can tell by listening to people who live here that this is the #1 problem.
