Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, 80 miles south of Nashville

Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, is a small, southern city with a population of roughly 12,000 people 80 miles south of Nashville. Named after American Navy officer James Lawrence, who served in the War of 1812, it became U.S. territory when the Chickasaw Nation sold land in the area to the U.S. in 1816. Today, the city is home to industrial employers like Plasman, Modine Manufacturing and AOC Metal Works. “It’s a small community, but a great area,” says Christie Hagan, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty. “It’s close to Nashville and close to the Tennessee River. A lot of people move from out of state here, because Tennessee is a good place to live.”

Boutiques sell goods ranging from flowers and furniture to shoes and secondhand clothes.

Lawrenceburg crime and weather

Property and violent crime rates in Lawrenceburg tend to track lower than state and national rates, according to data from the FBI. Environmental risks are more salient, with environmental data showing a moderate risk of flood impact over the next 30 years due to the city’s network of creeks and nearby waterways. Though Lawrenceburg summers are hot and muggy, temperatures rarely surpass 95 Fahrenheit. Winters are typically short and the average temperature in January is 38 Fahrenheit, just above freezing. Still, the city receives an annual snowfall of about 3.5 inches, and even light snow can have significant traffic impacts in the city.
