Lynchburg, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lynchburg is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 6,611 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 46.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lynchburg earn a median of $66,687 a year, 15.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lynchburg is valued at $259,300, 14.5% below the national figure and 36% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $746 a month, 46.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,952 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.4% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
