PROSPERITY & AFFORDABILITY
Key Takeaway: Overall, living in our region not only means
that you earn more money than residents in peer regions;
it also means that every dollar you earn here goes further.
However, one in seven residents in Davidson County
lives below the poverty line, meaning our prosperity isn’t
shared equally.
One in seven Davidson County residents lives below the poverty
line. Although this rate is lower than the majority of our peer
regions, it will be important to ensure all of our residents have
access to the economic prosperity the region is experiencing.
The Nashville region is fortunate to have a per capita income
that outpaces nearly all of our peers. Additionally, cost of living
remains below the national average. This means that not only do
our residents earn more; it also means that every dollar they earn
here goes further when it comes to spending on products and
services, buying homes or pursuing their dreams of starting or
growing a business.
The household income distribution varies significantly
throughout the region. Overall, about half of all households in the
region earn $50,000 or less.
