Seymour CDP, TN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Seymour CDP is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 15,914 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #38 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Seymour CDP earn a median of $85,240 a year, 8.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 52% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Seymour CDP is valued at $262,800, 13.4% below the national figure and 38% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,530 a month, 8.8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,360 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.3% 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.
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.
