What it’s like
The place. Friendship is a very small town in Crockett County, in West Tennessee, where most people know one another by name. Homes here are priced well below what is typical for the country as a whole, and incomes across the county run below the national picture. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with only a little snow and a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Crockett County, some of the largest workplaces are The Pictsweet Company-Bells Plant, which freezes vegetables, Hitachi Energy USA in Alamo, which makes transformers, and Crockett County Schools. Few people work from home, and the typical trip to work is a fairly long one. Jobs across the county have slipped over the past year, though unemployment has stayed low and little changed.
Things to do. The Middle Fork of the Forked Deer River is a short drive away, and other forks of the same river system lie a longer drive off. Farther out are Davy Crockett Lake, a reservoir, and Big Cypress Tree State Park, a protected area. Both make a day's outing for anyone who likes quiet water and woods.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Friendship’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 Crockett County and the Jackson, TN metro.
