Here's a rule, Non-humanoids are only interesting as big beasts or hives.

Okay, just out of idle boredom, lets go through types of Redneck for inspiration purposes:
Appalachian Hillbilly Mountain Man
Everglades/Georgia/SC Spooky Swamp Man
Midwestern Rural God-fearing Dirtfarmer
South-Western Big Hat Rancher/Entrepreneur
South-Eastern Old Money Plantation Gentry
North-Western Frontiersman/Woodsman Isolationist
"Revival," oriented near-Militant Religious Zealot
"Blue Collar," Industrial Resource Extraction worker
"Mom and Pop," legacy local business owner in rural community
"Shall Rise Again," sovereign citizen anarchist who believes whitewashed history which erases his ancestors wrongdoings
Truckers. Just... truckers. And maybe certain flavors of Bikers. Anyone who hangs out in Roadhouses.
Did I miss any good stereotypes?

Not sure how redneck it is but up here in the Pacific Northwest we have homeless people that form like entire societies out in the woods. It's like weird congregations of wood elves except all white people. Also a certain class of people who move out here for total self-sufficiency.

Oh also just the homeless in general here. There's little tent cities (mostly meth addicts) in some areas. I remember I ran into a group of them under a bridge once. They were out luckily but I saw the camp.
Urban homeless do similar things. I see this group of backpackers occasionally.

Think that second one falls under North-Western Frontiersman/Woodsman Isolationist. Got those all over Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, and the rural parts of Oregon and Washington.
Crazy Wilderness Vagrant is an interesting archetype. I think that has some redneck in it, though it can also apply to other groups like Tragic Postwar Veteran.
Also I forgot Trailer Park Folk.
Christopher Gomez
Trailer park folk are an interesting group. Only seen a few of them.
I feel like there just needs to be some reason for this redneck society to exist. The US in general is good for this kind of worldbuilding because it's huge and really diverse.
Also what about some of the border states? What about Sonoran rednecks?
