SUMMARY: Tennessee has seen significant population growth, with about 200,000 residents moving from other states and Puerto Rico in 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey. The majority of Tennessee’s over seven million residents (90%) did not relocate within the past year. The top states sending people to Tennessee were California, Florida, Texas, and Georgia.
