Tennessee has 345 PEP place records in this directory. Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance) is the largest in this covered universe at 721,074 residents as of July 1, 2025. Its place population increased by 9,244 ( 1.3%) from July 1, 2024.

Together, these places hold 4,415,656 residents; 209 of 345 gained population between July 2024 and July 2025. Statewide, the ACS 2020–2024 median household income is $69,595 (13.8% below the U.S.); median home value is $286,700 (13.8% below the U.S.); median gross rent is $1,189 (15.9% below the U.S.). Unincorporated areas count toward state totals but not toward this directory.

All 19,483 PEP places have published profiles. Income, home value and rent filters use nationwide exact-GEOID ACS matches; unavailable and suppressed estimates are excluded when those filters are active. Rent is the 2020–2024 survey median, not a current listing price. Open-ended medians meet a numeric filter only when the entire source range meets its condition.

What this state directory covers

The list uses Census Population Estimates Program place records (summary level 162): mostly incorporated cities, towns and villages, with their official labels and identifiers. Unincorporated communities and most census-designated places are outside this release, so a named community can be absent even though people live there, and the place totals above are smaller than the state population. Annual changes can reflect boundary adjustments as well as population change. Dollar figures are ACS 2020–2024 five-year medians in 2024 dollars, joined by exact place GEOID.
