COUNTY-TO-COUNTY MIGRATION
The latest Census Bureau migration statistics show more than 177,000 people moved into Tennessee from other states between 2007 and 2011. While 154,551 people left Tennessee for other states during this period, the net gain to the state was 22,532 people.
Montgomery County in middle Tennessee experienced the largest percentage increase from out-of-state movers during this period (10.6 percent). Davidson County, also in middle Tennessee, experienced the largest number of movers into the county across the entire nation, gaining 43,536 residents, including movers from other Tennessee counties. While Shelby County in west Tennessee experienced the largest number of people moving into the county from other states (24,676), it is important to note that 28,293 people moved out of Shelby County to other states during the same period resulting in the state's largest net loss with 2,070 people due to migration between 2007 and 2011, including those from abroad. The largest net gain due to migration was in Montgomery County which added 9,304 people.

Census Flows Mapper
The Census Bureau's online mapping tool, the Census Flows Mapper, allows you to visualize the latest county-to-county migration statistics by selecting any county in the nation and viewing which counties had outbound flows from that county, inbound flows to that county, and a net gain or net loss in the exchange. The map may also be filtered by educational attainment and income levels.
The application allows you to download statistics, zoom in and out on the map to an area of interest, view additional statistics of the selected county and save the map as a PDF file. Click here for a PowerPoint tutorial on how to navigate the tables and mapping tool.

2014 FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES UPDATE
The Census Bureau poverty thresholds have been updated by the relevant percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The 2014 guidelines reflect the 1.5 percent price increase between calendar years 2012 and 2013.
The poverty guidelines continue to be derived from the Census Bureau's current official poverty thresholds; they are not derived from the Census Bureau's new Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM).

 Computer and Internet Use: 2012 Since 2007, household internet access in Tennessee has increased 15.9 percent, to 74.3 percent of the population over 3 years of age. This means almost 1.2 million more Tennesseans had access to the Internet in their own homes in 2012 than they did in 2007. While this increase compares favorably to the national increase of only 12.2 percent during the same time period, Tennessee remains one of the lowest in the country, ranking 42nd in individuals who live in a household with Internet access. Of the eight states with a lower household connectivity rate, five of them are southeastern states. Mississippi had the lowest rate at 64.8 percent, while Oregon ranks the highest at 87.9 percent.
