What it’s like
The place. Sharon is a very small town in Weakley County, where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes run well below the county's, and homes here cost less than in many parts of the country. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with little or no snow and plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Across Weakley County, some of the largest employers are MTD Products, The University of Tennessee-Martin and Weakley County Schools. Most people have a fairly short trip to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. Big Cypress Tree State Park, a protected area, and the Obion River are both a short drive away, and the Varsity Theatre in Martin is close by too. For a bigger outing, Discovery Park of America, a museum, is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sharon’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 Weakley County and the Martin, TN metro.
