Liberty town, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Liberty town is a very small community in Tennessee, with 367 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #411 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 18% of them. The median age here is 34.4 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 Liberty town earn a median of $44,205 a year, 43.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 18.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Liberty town is valued at $182,100, 40% below the national figure and 5% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $758 a month, 46.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.8% 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.
