What it’s like
The place. Southside is a community in Montgomery County, Tennessee, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are high. Across the county, incomes are fairly strong and few families live below the poverty line. Winters are cool with little snow, summers are hot, and rain falls heavily through the year.
Work. Jobs grew across Montgomery County over the last year, and unemployment is low, having edged up slightly. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, shops, manufacturing, or professional and business services. Few people work from home, so most adults commute, and only a minority hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. Riverview Mounds Archaeological Site, an archaeological site, is a short drive away. Dunbar Cave State Park, a protected area, and Bell Witch Cave, a tourist attraction, are both a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Montgomery County, 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 Montgomery County and the Clarksville, TN-KY metro.
