Bethel Springs, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Bethel Springs town is a very small community in Tennessee, with 746 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #337 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 42.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bethel Springs town earn a median of $40,592 a year, 48.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 15.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bethel Springs town is valued at $110,800, 63.5% below the national figure and 42% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $547 a month, 61.1% below the national figure, or roughly $6,564 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
