Ethridge, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Ethridge town is a very small community in Tennessee, with 671 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #348 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 23.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Ethridge town earn a median of $54,911 a year, 30.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ethridge town is valued at $190,000, 37.4% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $939 a month, 33.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,268 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 23.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 671 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Ethridge town against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
