What it’s like
The place. Medina is a city in Madison County where most people own the homes they live in, and incomes run well above the county's. Few residents live below the poverty line, and the population is younger than in many towns. Winters are cold but short on snow, summers get hot, and rain falls fairly steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, banking and property, and professional and business services also well represented. Across Madison County, some of the largest workplaces are Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, Madison County Schools and Kellogg Company. The typical commute is a fairly short drive, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Natchez Trace State Park and Big Cypress Tree State Park are protected areas within a longer drive. Davy Crockett Lake is a reservoir, and Pinson Mounds, an archaeological site, is among the best known places nearby, also 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 Medina’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 Madison County and the Jackson, TN metro.
