Well, for starters, all the parts of town with "hill" in the name, like Berry Hill, Oak Hill, Forest Hills, Hillwood, etc.

That may be because the media market is a bit larger than the metro. It draws from a very large geographic area because there aren't many sizable cities within 100-200 miles.


As for the numbers, I looked at some of the recent trends (based on Census Estimates....which are...estimates, so keep that in mind). I made a list of projections based on current averages and trends, and combining both growth number and growth rate. Nashville's MSA is showing a pretty strong trend of accelerating growth (both number and percentage), but there is always a possibility that it could cool off (not stop growing -- just grow at a lesser rate), so I included that in my matrix of projections as a check against a compounding increase.

Current MSA estimate (2015): 1,830,345

Low-end projection (2020): 1,990,209
Mid-range projection (2020): 2,026,919
High-end projection (2020): 2,053,230

I would bet on the mid-range projection right now. The high-end one reaches 50,280 yearly growth by 2020. That's very unlikely, IMO.

I agree with the midrange as well due to the rising housing costs and lack of available inventory (apartment and housing). However, I have no idea what kind of factor job growth will play into this. I am sure there will be many more exciting announcements between now and 2020.
