Smyrna town, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Smyrna town is a small city in Tennessee, with 55,066 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #13 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 Smyrna town earn a median of $78,409 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Smyrna town is valued at $326,700, 7.7% above the national figure and 71% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,366 a month, 2.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,392 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 56.4% 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.
