Sharon town, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sharon town is a small town in Tennessee, with 1,105 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #293 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 45.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sharon town earn a median of $33,385 a year, 57.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sharon town is valued at $95,900, 68.4% below the national figure and 50% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $618 a month, 56% below the national figure, or roughly $7,416 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.1% 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.
