What is the median home value in Chattanooga?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimate for the median value of owner-occupied homes in Chattanooga is $283,200 in 2024 dollars. This describes owner-reported values over a five-year period. For a purchase or sale today, request recent comparable transactions for the specific neighborhood and property type.

What is the median rent in Chattanooga?

The 2020–2024 ACS median monthly gross rent for Chattanooga is $1,256 in 2024 dollars. Gross rent includes contract rent and applicable utility and fuel costs. It is a historical survey estimate, not today's asking rent or a quote for an individual property.

Does this describe a specific neighborhood?

These figures cover Chattanooga city, Tennessee. City boundaries, ZIP codes, school attendance areas, and named neighborhoods can differ. Use a property's address to check the details that matter to you; a city-wide median will not describe every block or home.

How can I compare Chattanooga with another place?

Use the city comparison to view figures from the same ACS release side by side. Then compare current property choices, your actual commute, and address-specific conditions. Differences between survey estimates can fall within their margins of error; the comparison does not rank which place is best.
