Chewalla, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Chewalla CDP is a very small community in Tennessee, with 171 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #456 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Chewalla CDP earn a median of $98,194 a year, 25% above the national figure of $78,538 and 75% 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 9.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Chewalla CDP is valued at $74,500, 75.4% below the national figure and 61% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 0.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 62% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 171 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Chewalla CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Chewalla 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.
