ZIP 37074 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 37074 is a mid-size town in Trousdale County, Tennessee, with 10,999 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #197 of 638 ranked by population — larger than 69% of them. The median age here is 33.2 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 ZIP 37074 earn a median of $62,931 a year, 19.9% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 37074 is valued at $256,100, 15.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $772 a month, 45.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,264 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.7% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.

Reading ZIP 37074 in context

How 37074 sits inside Trousdale County and Tennessee.

ZIP 37074 is tabulated inside Trousdale County, Tennessee, one of 2 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 638 across Tennessee. This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 37074 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 37074 reports a median household income of $62,931, 16% below the $74,903 county median, and 6% above the $59,143 typical TN ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $256,100, 7% above the county figure and 31% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $772 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Tennessee charges 7% statewide, and local governments overlapping 37074 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 37074 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
