Orlinda city, TN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Orlinda city is a small town in Tennessee, with 1,088 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #297 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 44.5 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 Orlinda city earn a median of $74,886 a year, 4.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Orlinda city is valued at $298,400, 1.6% below the national figure and 56% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,415 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,980 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.7% 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. 87.5% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
