Thompson's Station town, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Thompson's Station town is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 7,855 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #80 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 Thompson's Station town earn a median of $122,139 a year, 55.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 118% above 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 3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Thompson's Station town is valued at $598,200, 97.2% above the national figure and 213% above the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,124 a month, 51.1% above the national figure, or roughly $25,488 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
