Clinton city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Clinton city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 10,141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #65 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 45.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Clinton city earn a median of $64,005 a year, 18.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clinton city is valued at $204,700, 32.5% below the national figure and 7% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $858 a month, 39% below the national figure, or roughly $10,296 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.1% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60.3% 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.
