Ashland City, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Ashland City town is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 5,318 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 41.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Ashland City town earn a median of $73,921 a year, 5.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ashland City town is valued at $259,900, 14.3% below the national figure and 36% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,333 a month, 5.2% below the national figure, or roughly $15,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
