What it’s like
The place. Tennyson is a very small town in Warrick County, Indiana, with few enough residents that neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes in the town run well below the county's, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and some snow, and summers turn hot by July. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many people. Across Warrick County, some of the largest workplaces are Warrick County School, Kaiser Aluminum - Warrick and Deaconess Womens Hospital. The commute for a typical worker is fairly long, so many people travel some distance to their jobs. Unemployment across the county is low, and the number of jobs has grown slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, a protected area, is a short drive away. Lincoln State Park, another protected area, is also a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, an amusement park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Tennyson’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 Warrick County and the Evansville, IN-KY metro.
