With an estimate of about 89 people moving to Nashville each day, some might wonder what has warranted the influx of new inhabitants. Music City is growing rapidly, and it is boosting the economy and social infrastructure!
Nashville’s Past
In April of 1998, Nashville was hit by two tornadoes that damaged the homes of hundreds of people in East Nashville and the downtown area. This natural disaster resulted in much needed revitalization as well as a new arena. In 2010, disaster struck again, this time from torrential rain and extreme flooding. However, these natural occurrences could not stop Nashville’s transformation to a hot spot for new inhabitants and tourists. Live music, delicious food, and nightlife attract people from all over the country.
From 2010 to 2016, the Nashville area grew an average 32,403 people a year, a pace of about 89 people daily, surging the population by 11.6 percent. The number of incoming residents of the downtown area has quadrupled since the early 2000’s, with a projection of 12,402 in 2017.
