What it’s like
The place. Tennille is a small city in Washington County, Georgia, with a population that makes it a place where neighbors tend to know one another. Incomes sit below the county's typical household income, and a larger share of people live below the poverty line than is common across the country. Home values are modest, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Washington County, the largest workplaces include Washington County Schools, Oconee Fall Line Technical College and Walmart. Jobs in the county grew slightly last year, and unemployment has eased a little compared with a year earlier. The typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. Thomas Jefferson Elder High and Industrial School, a museum, is in or beside town, and City Cemetery, a protected area, is a short drive away. Lake Sinclair is a longer drive away and offers a day by the water. Winters are mild with little or no snow, summers are hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Tennille’s census tracts, 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 Washington County and the Dublin, GA metro.
