Nashville-Davidson, TN vs Metropolitan Government, TN
Apologies for the confusion, but Nashville-Davidson and the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County are one and the same. This is because in 1963, the city of Nashville and Davidson County unified and consolidated their government to form the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County or simply known as Nashville-Davidson. They are not separate entities that can be compared to each other. However, I can certainly provide detailed information about living in Nashville-Davidson covering crime/safety, weather, cost of living, and many other factors you mentioned.
Would you like that or is there another city or area within Nashville-Davidson you would like to compare it to?
