Red Boiling Springs, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Red Boiling Springs city is a small town in Tennessee, with 1,394 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #263 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Red Boiling Springs city earn a median of $32,083 a year, 59.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below 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 42.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Red Boiling Springs city is valued at $177,000, 41.7% below the national figure and 7% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $774 a month, 45% below the national figure, or roughly $9,288 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.9% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 39.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
