What it’s like
The place. Olivehill sits in Hardin County, in western Tennessee, where most homes are lived in by their owners, more than across the country. Residents are older on the whole than the typical American, and household incomes run lower than the national middle. More people live below the poverty line here than across the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, or in shops and restaurants. Unemployment has risen over the past year and there are slightly fewer jobs than before. Few people work from home, so most head out each day to a workplace.
Things to do. Pickwick Lake, a reservoir a longer drive away, is one of the best known spots nearby for water and open shoreline. Shiloh National Military Park, an archaeological site also a longer drive off, preserves ground with a long history. Short Creek, a river only a short drive away, offers a quieter outing closer to home.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Hardin County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Hardin County.
