The state, which I will be doing my project on, is the great state of Tennessee.  I was born and raised in Nashville, TN and I have travelled throughout the state during my lifetime, with my parents, school, and Widespread Panic.  Tennessee is special because it is divided into three very different sections: West Tennessee with Memphis as the hub, Middle Tennessee with the capitol of Nashville, and East Tennessee, home to Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Bristol.  Each of these sections has its own culture and things that make them great.  I found some sites on the internet that will help me find the census data about the population of Tennessee and here they are.

Sources from the internet

  1. Population growth or loss per county from http://www.epodunk.com/top10/countyPop/coPop43.html
  2. Population projections for both state and counties from http://www.tennessee.gov/tacir/population.html
  3. Quick facts about the state from the US census bureau website http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/47000.html
  4. Population taken from the various US Censuses from the Census Bureau http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/SAFFPopulation?_event=Search&_name=&_state=04000US47&Submit.x=11&Submit.y=7&_county=&_cityTown=&_zip=&_sse=on&_lang=en&pctxt=fph
