Bowman, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Bowman CDP is a very small community in Tennessee, with 431 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #399 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 34.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Bowman CDP earn a median of $75,805 a year, 3.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bowman CDP is valued at $368,000, 21.3% above the national figure and 93% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 82.7% 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.

With 431 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bowman CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Bowman CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
