Blaine city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Blaine city is a small town in Tennessee, with 2,797 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 39.3 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 Blaine city earn a median of $66,010 a year, 16% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Blaine city is valued at $248,600, 18.1% below the national figure and 30% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $958 a month, 31.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,496 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
