What it’s like

The place. Hickory Withe is a small community in Fayette County, in western Tennessee. Winters here are colder than in much of the South, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are hot, peaking in July. Snow is light and rare, but rain is heavy and falls through much of the year. Across Fayette County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical resident is middle-aged.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in transport, warehouses and utilities. Unemployment is low and has edged up slightly over the past year, while the number of jobs grew over the same period. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and few people work from home, so most commutes are longer than a quick trip across town. Household incomes across the county are generally comfortable, though a small share of residents live below the poverty line.

Things to do. The Wolf River is a river a longer drive away, and Shelby Farms is a park, also a longer drive away. The Dixon Gallery and Gardens, a museum, is likewise a longer drive from the town. Each of these lies beyond the town itself, so plan on a longer outing to reach them.
