What it’s like
The place. Henning is a small town in Lauderdale County, west Tennessee, with a small population by any measure. Incomes across Lauderdale County run below the county's neighbors elsewhere in the state, and homes in town are modest in price. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few people work from home.
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 - Ripley, Lauderdale County Schools and Walmart. Unemployment across the county is about where it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has held steady.
Things to do. Henning sits in country with a long history, and several of the nearest places are about the past and the outdoors. Fort Pillow State Park is an archaeological site a longer drive away, and Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area, also a longer drive away. The Forked Deer River, a river a longer drive away, offers another way to spend time outdoors. Winters are cold, with only a little snow, and summers are hot and wet through much of the year.

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