What it’s like
The place. Mount Pleasant is a small city in Maury County, Tennessee. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than a household budget would suggest for the county overall. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and only a small share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold but short of harsh, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in town are Landmark Ceramics, which makes mosaic tile, Tennessee Aluminum Processors, and Fuel Total Systems, which assembles gas tanks for vehicles. The typical commute is a moderate one, and very few people work from home. Across Maury County, unemployment is higher than a year earlier, and there were fewer jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. Stillhouse Hollow Falls State Natural Area, a waterfall, is a short drive away, as is Catheys Creek, a creek that suits a quiet afternoon. A longer drive leads to David Crockett State Park, a protected area with room to walk and spend the day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mount Pleasant’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 Maury County and the Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN metro.
