Dyersburg city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dyersburg city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 16,075 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 41.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Dyersburg city earn a median of $51,846 a year, 34% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below 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 23.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dyersburg city is valued at $170,900, 43.7% below the national figure and 11% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $759 a month, 46% below the national figure, or roughly $9,108 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 49.1% 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.
