Every two years, the Boyd Center publishes population projections for Tennessee’s 95 counties. The data includes forecasted population, age, race/Hispanic ethnicity and sex for each county in the state.

Tennessee forecasts, current as of December 2021, are based on an array of assumptions, particularly at the national level, which are described in Chapter One. Chapters Two and Three details major sectors of the Tennessee economy. Finally, Chapter Four provides a look at the Tennessee labor market, examines the impact of the pandemic and subsequent partial labor market recovery, and details how the recovery has varied across several dimensions.

As Tennessee grappled with COVID-19 during the height of the initial pandemic, the Boyd Center partnered with the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration to produce a series of weekly and monthly data that showed how it affected Tennessee’s economy.
