What it’s like
The place. Ramer is a very small city in McNairy County, Tennessee, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are priced well below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes across McNairy County sit below the national picture. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and most people who work from home are the exception rather than the rule. Winters are cool, with cold nights and snow that is rare. Summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents of Ramer work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across McNairy County, the largest workplaces include McNairy County Schools, the Monogram Refrigeration plant in Selmer, and ABB. Unemployment across the county is about where it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Big Hill Pond State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is a place for time outdoors, and the Tuscumbia River is also a short drive off. For history, the Siege and Battle of Corinth Sites are a short drive away as well. A longer drive leads to Shiloh National Military Park, one of the best known Civil War battlefields in the region.

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