Guys town, TN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Guys town is a very small community in Tennessee, with 352 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #415 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 44.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Guys town earn a median of $47,083 a year, 40.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Guys town is valued at $116,500, 61.6% below the national figure and 39% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $820 a month, 41.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
