Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Nashville
2026-11-10
Nashville leads Tennessee in in-migration growth, with a 25.6% rise in households moving in between 2017–18 and 2022–23 — according to ALEX Intelligence’s analysis of IRS migration data. This surge, driven by both out-of-state and in-state flows, underscores Nashville’s growing role as a regional anchor. The data shows Montgomery County, TN, leads all counties in net inflows, highlighting the city’s appeal beyond coastal migration patterns. This isn’t just a temporary trend — it’s a structural shift in how people choose where to live. What does this mean for housing supply, infrastructure, and long-term planning in Nashville? How will cities like Memphis and Knoxville respond to this shifting balance?
