2012 POPULATION ESTIMATES RELEASED
Counties, Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas |
The latest estimates (July 1, 2012) of total population for Counties, Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas have been released. Click here for the Census Bureau's full press release.
County-level population estimates are calculated using administrative records to estimate components of population change, such as births, deaths, domestic and international migration.
A notable highlight for Tennessee is that the Clarksville, TN-KY metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is the second fastest-growing MSA in the nation. The four counties comprising the Clarksville MSA are Montgomery and Stewart Counties in Tennessee and Christian and Trigg Counties in Kentucky.
Montgomery County is the fastest growing county in the state with a 4.3 percent growth from 2011 to 2012. The increase of 7,631 people in Montgomery County represents 13 percent of the total state's population growth during this period, with the growth largely attributable to an increase in net migration of 5,638 people. Montgomery County is followed by Williamson County at 2.4 percent growth.
Davidson County recorded the largest numerical change in the state from 2011-2012, with an increase of 12,703 (2.0%) people, largely as a result of a net migration of 8,194 people. Thirty-eight counties experienced negative growth, ranging from -2.1 to -0.1 percent declines. Six counties had no growth.

UPCOMING RELEASE
2006-2010 County-to-County Migration Flows Mapper Tool and 2006-2010 County-to-County Characteristics Migration Tables
(Scheduled Release: March 19) | |
County-To-County Migration Tables
Based on data collected during the American Community Survey from 2006 to 2010, the county-to-county migration tables give added information on the paths of the 17.3 million people who moved to another county. The tables provide the current county of residence, the county of residence one year ago and the estimated number of movers between the counties. Additional tables provide the same information broken down by selected characteristics: age, sex, race or Hispanic origin.
Census Flows Mapper Tool
The Census Bureau has developed its first beta version of an online mapping tool called Census Flows Mapper. It is an interactive application that allows users to select a county in the U.S. and view the outbound, inbound and net migration flows for that county. Additionally, users can choose flows based on characteristics such as age, sex, race or Hispanic origin. The application also allows users to download the data for the flow they have selected, zoom in and out on the map to an area of interest, view additional statistics of the selected county and print their map to a PDF file. |
