Braden, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Braden town is a very small community in Tennessee, with 297 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #426 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 47.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Braden town earn a median of $79,167 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Braden town is valued at $257,100, 15.3% below the national figure and 35% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86% 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 297 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Braden town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Braden town 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.
