McEwen city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

McEwen city is a small town in Tennessee, with 1,814 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #233 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 53% 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 McEwen city earn a median of $71,563 a year, 8.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in McEwen city is valued at $152,700, 49.7% below the national figure and 20% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $743 a month, 47.2% below the national figure, or roughly $8,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.5% 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. 75.4% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
