What it’s like
The place. Halls is a small town in Lauderdale County, Tennessee, home to a younger population than many small towns. More homes are lived in by their owners than rented, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold but not severe, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Lauderdale County, some of the largest workplaces are Marvin Windows and Doors in Ripley, Lauderdale County Schools and Walmart. Few adults hold a four-year degree, very few work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. The Forked Deer River and its forks run close by, a short drive away, and make for time on the water or along the banks. The Ripley Fire Lookout Tower, a tourist attraction, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

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