CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A recent study documenting population growth over the past decade found that Clarksville was one of the largest growing midsize cities in the country.
Porch, a home services marketplace, examined multiple locations across the country that experienced high residential growth since 2010. The company’s researchers calculated the difference between their 2010 and 2020 populations as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.
In 2010, Clarksville’s population sat just over 130,000 residents. Its size has since grown to 161,247, a 20.8% increase. A 10-year total population change of 27,764 residents ranks 14th most of all midsize cities in the United States.
“We’re excited that more people want to come to Middle Tennessee and we’re excited that people see a great opportunity for themselves here,” said Economic Development Council CEO David “Buck” Dellinger. “We got great jobs and a great education system. It’s natural that people want to make Clarksville-Montgomery County a home.”
Murfreesboro was the only other city from Tennessee to fall within the study’s top 15, witnessing a 37.6% population increase since 2010.
