What it’s like
The place. Mount Sherman is in Green County, Kentucky. Across the county, the typical resident is older than most Americans, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are the coldest part of the year and summers the warmest.
Work. Across Green County, unemployment is lower than a year earlier, and the number of jobs grew over the past year. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops or government. Fewer adults hold a degree than in most of the country, and few people work from home, so most leave the house each day for work.
Things to do. Within a longer drive, Horse Cave is a tourist attraction, and the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park is a protected area. The Kentucky Railway Museum is another option for anyone who enjoys old trains.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Green County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Green County and the Campbellsville, KY metro.
