What the data says about building here

Murfreesboro is young and growing. At a median age of 31.6 it is the youngest city in the metro — Middle Tennessee State University is here — and at 161,445 residents it is the second-largest, behind only Nashville.

It is a college-town, renter-heavy market: a 52.4% owner-occupancy rate means nearly half of homes are rented, and a 7.0% self-employed workforce says this is a wage-and-salary economy more than a founder one. A contractor here often works for landlords and first-time buyers as much as long-tenured owners.

Rutherford County's base runs to 6,285 employer establishments and $6.92B in annual payroll (CBP 2023), with 687 construction firms — the field a Murfreesboro trade competes inside.
