The Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) has released a new snapshot report of Personal and Family Economic Well-Being by county.
This is their second report, and includes data through 2008. It incorporates income per capita, median household income, poverty rates, and wages.
The latest report "indicates an overall positive trend for personal and family economic well-being" since the first report, but "momentum among the counties is insufficient to improve the status of the counties below the middle any time soon."
| Top ten counties ranked by current status: 1 Williamson |
Top ten counties ranked by momentum: 1 Fayette |

With I-40 being closed across
With I-40 being closed across the mountains. This hasn't helped Cocke county's economic growth well being.
Seems Blount County should
Seems Blount County should have ranked 7 since the current status for Blount and Hamilton are the same but Blount has a higher momentum.
Guess we need to add liquor to the kind of business to bring into the area.
From this map its pretty
From this map its pretty clear to me what keeps so many otherwise perfectly intelligent and good hearted East TN folk shamefully closed minded and conservative. Poverty and economic instability. The real tragedy is that conservativism and closed-minded-ness in a time of profound economic change is a recipe for continued poverty and economic instability.
That may be a good point!

Rneal, would you happen to have access to a map that you could post. That shows the demographics of how each county votes pertaining to the different political parties? It would be interesting to see the comparison.

They could have used better
They could have used better color coding contrast on that map.

Agreed!!! I thought I might be the only one with bad eye site.
Thanks for posting the link Randy, but the comparison of the two charts didn't turn out to be as clear cut between the two parties as I first imagined. This goes beyond party and I guess has more to do with the leadership of each county, plus the county's population.
Voting shifts match better

Granted, I haven't run any correlations, but it looks to me like there is a correlation between poverty and places that voted even more to the right this time than they did last time.
Its probably capturing between 30-50% of the variance. 50 would still be pretty strong (for social science anyways).
