The city

The job is in Nashville, TN. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Nashville compares. Among the 80 largest places in Tennessee, Nashville is #1 by population, #12 for remote work (#1 = most), #14 for college degrees (#1 = most), #64 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Davidson County, is #2 of 95 counties for average pay ($83,096).

The place in numbers

Nashville has 690,130 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.8% of the population of Tennessee. It covers 476 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 1,451 people per square mile. The median age is 34.5, 11% younger than the state median (34.5 against 38.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,586 a month (rent plus utilities), 33% above the state median ($1,586 against $1,189). Over a year that is 24.6% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $413,600, which is 5.3 times the median household income ($77,371); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 52.4% of households own their home, 22% below the state average (52.4% against 66.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN metropolitan area has 1,099,300 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $50,390 a year, about the same as the national median ($50,390 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (142,660 jobs, median $47,960); transportation and material moving (118,420 jobs, median $43,280); food preparation and serving related (103,250 jobs, median $32,150). The area is most specialised in arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media (1.3 times) and transportation and material moving (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($126,320) and computer and mathematical ($94,650). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Davidson County was 2.8%. 72.5% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Davidson County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 66.5% drive alone, 1.5% use public transit, 1.9% walk, 20.4% work from home. 11.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 24% below the state average (11.6% against 15.2%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

48.0% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 55% above the state share (48.0% against 31.1%). 15.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 151% above the state share (15.3% against 6.1%). The poverty rate is 14.1%, about the same as the state rate (14.1% against 13.8%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 79°F (26.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 36°F (2.3°C). About 1,350 mm (53 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Feb is the wettest month (129 mm) and Sep the driest (92 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Goodlettsville (12 miles, rent 13% lower); Brentwood (12 miles, rent 78% higher); Hendersonville (14 miles, rent 4% higher); Mount Juliet (15 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Nashville; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
