ZIP code 37351

ZIP 37351 is a very small community in Hamilton County, Tennessee, with 295 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #592 of 638 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 35.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 ZIP 37351 earn a median of $38,965 a year, 50.4% below the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 15.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 37351 is valued at $170,100, 43.9% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 295 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 37351 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 37351 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.

ZIP 37351 is tabulated inside Hamilton County, Tennessee, one of 26 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 638 across Tennessee. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most 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 37351 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 37351 reports a median household income of $38,965, 41% below the $66,389 county median, and 34% below the $59,143 typical TN ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $170,100, 35% below the county figure and 13% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 37351 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 37351 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.
