Red Bank city, TN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Red Bank city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 11,960 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Red Bank city earn a median of $61,788 a year, 21.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Red Bank city is valued at $246,100, 18.9% below the national figure and 29% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,118 a month, 20.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,416 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% 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. 58.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
