This feature layer was created for use with the Tennessee State Data Center County Population Estimates and Components of Change Dashboard and its design is specific to that application. The map is updated each March when an additional year is added to the estimate series. The layer contains overlapping geographic features (one county polygon for each year in the estimate vintage). In other words for a Knox County, there would be a polygon feature and associated attributes for 2020, 2021, 2022 and so on. Therefore, for general use the map must be filtered to show only a single year from the estimate series. Each county's population, numeric change and percent change are provided for every year in the population estimate times series. Additional columns providing ranks of the fastest-growing counties by size and rank order by population size. The layers includes a number of Tennessee specific, geographic classification systems that are found in Classifications are from the 2023 Tennessee County Geographic Classifier Reference File Development Districts 2020 Urban and Rural Counties; Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development 2023 Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas
