Bon Aqua Junction, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Bon Aqua Junction CDP is a small town in Tennessee, with 1,877 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #224 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 28.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Bon Aqua Junction CDP earn a median of $33,295 a year, 57.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% below 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 21.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bon Aqua Junction CDP is valued at $174,800, 42.4% below the national figure and 9% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $855 a month, 39.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,260 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 52.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

A median age of 28.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
