CENSUS RELEASES 2014 NATIONAL AND STATE POPULATION ESTIMATES
While continuing to keep pace with the nation, Tennessee remains the 17th largest state, growing 0.80 percent in 2014, compared to the national average of 0.75 percent. The additional 52,083 Tennessee residents are largely the result of net migration which accounted for over half of the population increase and ranks Tennessee as the 14th-fastest net migration state in 2014. California and Texas remain the top two most populous states in 2014. But, Florida has overtaken New York as the third largest, largely the result of domestic in- and out-migration.
Since 2010, Southeastern states are responsible for 30 percent of the total population increase in the nation with 3.8 percent growth, compared to 3.3 percent for the nation. Of the twelve Southeastern states, five experienced faster growth than Tennessee--Florida (5.8), South Carolina (4.5), North Carolina (4.3), Georgia (4.2), and Virginia (4.1).
U.S. and state population estimates, as well as change and components of change for 2014 are available on the Census website available here. Population estimates for counties and metro/micropolitan statistical areas will be released in March.

More Economic Census Data Available for Small Communities in Tennessee
Small communities benefited from the Census Bureau's redefined threshold used to identify economic places valid for publication in the 2012 Economic Census data. In the 2007 Economic Census, a cutoff of 5,000 or more population or jobs was used to identify economic places valid for publication, while the cutoff for the 2012 Economic Census was reduced to 2,500, resulting in nearly 5,000 new places to be published in the Economic Census.
For Tennessee, this means an additional 71 economic places with published data in the 2012 Economic Census. For a list of changes for Tennessee, see Economic Place Changes from 2007 to 2012: Tennessee (PDF). For a detailed list of all changes, including additions, deletions and boundary changes, see the GeoNotes file for Tennessee. This file lists all newly-recognized places for the 2012 Economic Census and all places with any change from the 2007 Economic Census.
It is important to note that the metro areas published in the 2012 Economic Census are those delineated by the Office of Management and Budget.
