Hardeman County, TN Property Records & Statistics
Hardeman County's median rent is $780, a little above the Tennessee median of $763 but below the national median of $840.25. Homes are far cheaper than average: the median home value is $119,900, compared with $161,600 statewide and $173,750 nationally. The low prices make ownership accessible, though they also reflect the county's rural economy.
Property taxes are higher than in much of Tennessee. The median property tax rate is 0.61%, above the state's 0.52% but still below the national rate of 0.74%. On inexpensive homes, that rate still produces fairly modest bills.
The median household income is $44,208, well under the state's $55,242 and the national $65,108. The unemployment rate of 4.05% is also higher than the 2.75% recorded in Tennessee and the 2.87% nationally, which points to a labor market that is weaker than average.
Renter-occupied housing makes up 24.23% of occupied homes, a bit above the state share of 21.85% and the national share of 21.81%. Overall, the numbers show a low-cost housing market with a moderate tax rate, where lower incomes and higher unemployment keep rents and values below state and national levels.
