The place in numbers
Hendersonville has 63,091 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.9% of the population of Tennessee. It covers 32 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 1,991 people per square mile. The median age is 40.3, 4% older than the state median (40.3 against 38.9).

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 $430,700, which is 4.4 times the median household income ($97,200). 71.7% of households own their home, 7% above the state average (71.7% against 66.9%).

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.

43.9% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 41% above the state share (43.9% against 31.1%). 4.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 24% below the state share (4.7% against 6.1%). The poverty rate is 6.3%, 54% below the state rate (6.3% against 13.8%).
