What it’s like
The place. Counce is a very small community in Hardin County, Tennessee, with far fewer people than most towns. Few adults here hold a four-year degree compared with the rest of the country. Homes are worth more than you might expect against household incomes across the county, which sit on the modest side. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, summers are hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Hardin County, some of the largest workplaces are Packaging Corporation of America, Hardin County Schools and Hardin Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Pickwick Landing State Park is in or beside town, and Pickwick Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away, which makes the water the natural draw here. Also a short drive off are Shiloh National Military Park, an archaeological site, and J. P. Coleman State Park, a protected area. Together they offer lake days, quiet walks and a look at some of the region's history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Counce’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Hardin County.
