What it’s like
The place. Bon Aqua lies in Hickman County, Tennessee, where most homes are lived in by their owners, a larger share than across the country as a whole. Winters are cool with some snow, summers are hot, and rain falls heavily through the year. The typical resident is older than the national middle.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in the building trades, or in local shops. Jobs in the county grew slightly over the past year, and few people work from home. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in much of the country, and the typical commute is longer than in most American towns.
Things to do. Montgomery Bell State Park, a protected area, and Plunders Creek, a river, are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, a botanical garden, is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- TornadoesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Hickman 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 Hickman County and the Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN metro.
