This is exciting, but also makes me a little anxious. Our 2000 population was 107,000. I like things how they are here.  |

Just wait until next years numbers come out and reflect the 25,000 to 30,000 troops that have just come back to the Clarksville area from Iraq in the last 2-3 months.

That and the huge Corporate moves into the area. Montgomery County will certainly see an increase. |

How about that Memphrica (Shelby County)? Just wait until those figure come out again. People are refugeeing out in droves. Place is Robo-Cop Old Detroit scary. Everybody moving to Brentwood and Franklin - gave up completely on the baggy pant thug infested place.

Looks like Washington is having a growth spurt. At one time a few decades ago it was sixth in the state but has fallen a few positions due to much faster growth elsewhere. I wonder if Sullivan is still fifth. |

A cursory glanced seems to say yes, as of 2000. Of course Wilson, Ruthorford are growing so fast, as I'm sure other counties are. I wonder what the data set as of 2008 is. I can't open the excel files from JMT's post and the cvs files are too confusing to read easily.

But I'm short on time and didn't look very long. |

OK I'll crunch the numbers and start a new thread on how Tennessee counties rank in population. This should be fun!

I thought that the troops were counted in their home cities, counties and states throughout this country. |
