What it’s like
The place. Belfast is a small town in Marshall County, in south-central Tennessee. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population leans toward middle age. Winters are cold and summers are hot, snowfall is light, and rain and melted snow fall heavily through the year.
Work. Across Marshall County, jobs grew over the last year, while unemployment has risen compared with the same month a year earlier. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Commutes are typically a drive of some length, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. Henry Horton State Park, a protected area, is one of the best known places nearby and sits a longer drive away. The Tennessee Walking Horse National Museum and the Beechcraft Heritage Museum are also a longer drive away, with the first devoted to the walking horse breed and the second to aircraft. Tims Ford Lake, a lake, is another option for time on the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Marshall County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Marshall County and the Lewisburg, TN metro.
