What it’s like
The place. Eva is a very small community in Benton County, Tennessee, with far fewer residents than most towns at the most recent census. Homes here are valued below what many buyers would expect elsewhere in the country, and household incomes across Benton County are on the modest side. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, though snow is light; summers turn hot by July, and rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many people. Across Benton County, the largest workplaces include Benton County Schools, Walmart and Camden Plastics. Unemployment across the county is close to where it stood a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park and Johnsonville State Historic Park, both protected areas, sit in or beside town, along with the Eva Site, an archaeological site. A longer drive away are Fort Donelson National Battlefield and the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge, both worth a day trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Eva’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 Benton County.
