Soddy-Daisy, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Soddy-Daisy city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 13,117 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #49 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 46 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Soddy-Daisy city earn a median of $67,824 a year, 13.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 8.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Soddy-Daisy city is valued at $241,400, 20.4% below the national figure and 26% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $996 a month, 29.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,952 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.6% 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.

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.
