County population data (Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol: area, cities, counties)

[mbmouse]

We always see the city population information and I thought this county info was very interesting. Jeff Fleming (assistant city manager of Kingsport) just sent out this info. Many folks on here have asked about population numbers and you always see city limit numbers. This info is great because county's in this area have a lot of population and can effect what people perceive as large city or small town kind of thing.

Census Bureau Releases 2007 Population by County

1 Sullivan County Tennessee 153,519
2 Washington County Tennessee 116,657
3 Sevier County Tennessee 83,527

5 Hamblen County Tennessee 59,236
6 Carter County Tennessee 59,198
7 Hawkins County Tennessee 57,054
8 Washington County Virginia 52,733
9 Jefferson County Tennessee 50,221


One thing to note about the Tri-Cities counties listed here. Sullivan County contains two fair sized cities, Kingsport and Bristol. Washington County has one, Johnson City and a small, Jonesborough.
