From the course of the river, the community area extends southeast over the alluvial plain to the adjacent high terrace , which is partly wooded, partly with arable land and meadow. At 295 m, the highest point in Tressandans is reached in the Bois de la Corne forest .
Neighboring communities of Tressandans are Chassey-lès-Montbozon and Bonnal in the north, Rougemont in the east and south and Thieffrans in the west.

With 23 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) Tressandans is one of the smallest communities in the Doubs department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (84 people were still counted in 1906), only minor fluctuations have been recorded since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Tressandans was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. Even today, the residents live mainly from their work in the first sector. Outside the primary sector there are few jobs in the village. Some workers are also commuters who work in the surrounding larger towns.
The village is located off the main thoroughfares on a departmental road that leads from Rougemont to Thieffrans. Further road connections exist with Bonnal and Montferney.
