Collegedale city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Collegedale city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 11,185 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #58 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 36.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Collegedale city earn a median of $64,905 a year, 17.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Collegedale city is valued at $332,700, 9.7% above the national figure and 74% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,435 a month, 2.1% above the national figure, or roughly $17,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 43.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
