What it’s like
The place. Henry is a very small town in Henry County, Tennessee, with a population that is a small fraction of what most American towns hold. Few adults here have a four-year degree compared with the country as a whole, and household incomes across the county run below the national level. Homes are priced modestly, and winters are cold but short on snow, with summers that turn hot and a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Most residents find work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels close behind. Across Henry County, the largest workplaces include Henry County Medical Center, Henry County Schools and Dana, an automotive parts manufacturer. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a small share of people work from home. Unemployment across the county has risen a little over the past year, though the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. The Krider Performing Arts Center, a theatre, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Paris Landing State Park, a protected area, and to Big Sandy River, a river good for time outdoors. Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park is another protected area 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 Henry’s 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 Henry County and the Paris, TN metro.
