Grand Junction, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Grand Junction city is a very small community in Tennessee, with 560 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #369 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 34.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Grand Junction city earn a median of $74,583 a year, 5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Grand Junction city is valued at $154,000, 49.2% below the national figure and 19% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $839 a month, 40.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.5% 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 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 65.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
