Gallatin city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gallatin city is a small city in Tennessee, with 46,667 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #17 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 37.3 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 Gallatin city earn a median of $73,589 a year, 6.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gallatin city is valued at $343,700, 13.3% above the national figure and 80% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,299 a month, 7.6% below the national figure, or roughly $15,588 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 58.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
