Millersville city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Millersville city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 5,885 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #103 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Millersville city earn a median of $70,411 a year, 10.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 12.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Millersville city is valued at $280,800, 7.4% below the national figure and 47% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,336 a month, 5% below the national figure, or roughly $16,032 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.1% 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.
