Confirm the city boundary before interpreting zoning

Knoxville's development-process guide explains how to use KGIS to check whether an address lies in the city and then turn on its zoning layer. This boundary check matters because the same mapping system includes Knox County parcels.

Follow an active proposal into its staff report

Knoxville-Knox County Planning's active-case list links staff reports, case files and maps under case identifiers. Match the location and case number, then follow the review materials and decision status; an active application does not establish that its proposal was approved.

What is the median home value in Knoxville?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimate for the median value of owner-occupied homes in Knoxville is $239,700 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 Knoxville?

The 2020–2024 ACS median monthly gross rent for Knoxville is $1,191 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 Knoxville 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 Knoxville 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.
