I know folks (white and non-white) who ducked the census as a means of protest against local elected officials and/or because they were worried/angry about rhetoric around “citizenship.” We sleep in the bed we’ve made for ourselves.

That is some seriously backwards logic. It only hurts themselves.

If you haven't noticed, this country is full of backwards "logic." People are afraid of the government knowing too much about them, meanwhile they are freely giving away far more intimate data to Google and the like.

The Tennessee Comptroller's office has a website for mapping congressional and voting districts in each county using the most recent Census numbers. But buried in that info is what the Tennessee Comptroller calls the Projected Annual Rate of Growth for the next five years. I don't think they're just snagging Census figures and projecting them for another five years, as some of the counties have different Census growth rates vs. the five-year projections.

At any rate, since I'm a numbers guy, I like looking at things like this. The state comptroller projects the state growing at an annual rate of 0.63% for the next five years. Here are the counties that it projects will grow faster than the state average, ranked by projected rate of annual growth:

rank...county...projected annual growth rate...2020 Census...2025 projection
  1. Williamson...2.68%...247,726...282,749
  2. Rutherford...2.29%...341,486...382,418
  3. Wilson...2.26%...147,737...165,203
  4. Montgomery...1.82%...220,069...240,838
  5. Sumner...1.67%...196,281...213,227
  6. Maury...1.62%...100,974...109,422
  7. Davidson...1.36%...715,884...765,906
  8. Fayette...1.34%...41,990...44,880

Thank you for posting all this info. I'm not sure if I still trust the numbers--I certainly don't trust the 2020 official census figures. Anyway, it's good to see that some of the more rural areas are seeing some growth. I hear stories of people from higher priced states moving to rural places in the South, and some of the numbers below seem to confirm that.

Anyway, here are all of the metropolitan and micropolitan areas and their change from the 2020 Census.

area...2021 population...change from 2020 census
Nashville...2,012,476...22,957
Memphis...1,336,103...-1,676
Knoxville...893,412...13,639
Chattanooga...567,641...4,994
Clarksville...328,304...7,769
Kingsport-Bristol...308,661...1,047
Johnson City...208,068...783
Jackson...180,799...295
Morristown...143,855...1,146
Cleveland...127,938...1,993
Cookeville...115,777...1,795
Tullahoma-Manchester...108,891...1,767
Sevierville...99,517...1,137
Greeneville...70,621...469
Crossville...62,451...1,306
Athens...54,059...783
Shelbyville...51,119...882
Lawrenceburg...44,828...669
McMinnville...41,523...570
Dyersburg...36,615...-186
Newport...36,418...419
Lewisburg...34,984...666
Dayton...33,136...266
Martin...33,036...134
Paris...32,239...40
Union City...30,466...-321
Brownsville...17,694...-170

Something is off with the Davidson County numbers. The Nashville MSA took a sudden dip in growth rates with this last estimate that goes against everything we’ve seen for decades, and digging into the numbers reveals that the estimated Davidson County population dropped by almost 12,000 people from April 1st, 2020 compared to July 1st, 2021. None of the other indicators we’re seeing would point to a drop in population to that degree. I would be interested in knowing what data was used to come to the conclusion that Davidson actually dropped in population.
