What it’s like
The place. Ethridge is a very small town in Lawrence County, Tennessee, the kind of place where neighbors tend to know one another. A typical home here is worth more than the county's median household income might suggest, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many parts of the country. Winters are cold but not severe, with freezing nights in January, and summers turn hot by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and the building trades also well represented. Across Lawrence County, the largest workplaces include Lawrence County Schools, Crockett Hospital and Modine Manufacturing's Lawrenceburg plant. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, and there are slightly fewer jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. David Crockett State Park, a protected area with a short drive from town, is the closest big outdoor draw. The Buffalo River, also a short drive away, and Stillhouse Hollow Falls State Natural Area, a waterfall a short drive off, give walkers and anglers more water to explore. For a longer outing, The Elephant Sanctuary is a longer drive away.

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 Lawrence County and the Lawrenceburg, TN metro.
