Winchester city, TN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Winchester city is a mid-size town in Tennessee, with 9,600 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #68 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 44.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Winchester city earn a median of $59,497 a year, 24.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
