What it’s like
The place. Lyles is a very small community in Hickman County, Tennessee, where most people know the neighbors on their road. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and household incomes across Hickman County sit a little below the national picture. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and many residents have a long drive to work.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops close behind. Across Hickman County, Hickman County Schools, Promises Behavioral Health and Accurate Energetic Systems are among the largest workplaces. Jobs across the county have grown slightly over the past year, and unemployment there has edged up a little from a year earlier. Hardly anyone works from home, and the typical commute is a long one.
Things to do. Several creeks, including Plunders Creek and Beaver Creek, are a short drive away and are the closest places to spend time outdoors. For a longer outing, Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art is a botanical garden a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are warm, with the hottest days in July.

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