Walnut Hill CDP, TN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Walnut Hill CDP is a small town in Tennessee, with 2,480 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #187 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 46.6 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 Walnut Hill CDP earn a median of $65,074 a year, 17.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Walnut Hill CDP is valued at $172,500, 43.1% below the national figure and 10% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.
The Census withheld gross rent for Walnut Hill CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
