Comments Below: 0

The latest census estimates show that Chattanooga continues to grow.

Since 2000, the city has turned around a history of stagnant and declining population and now shows steady gains.

In fact Mayor Littlefield predicts the city will pass Knoxville in the next decade.

So how are Chattanooga's neighbors doing?

We've crunched the numbers, and here are the winners and losers in our area, over the last decade (based on the number of citizens gained since 2000 according to the latest estimates).
