Among U.S. cities with populations of 100,000 people or more, few today are growing faster than Clarksville. Clarksville experienced 4.8 percent annual growth between July 2006 to July 2007, checking in with a total population of 119,284 one year ago according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Local business recruiters, including James Chavez, president of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Economic Developement Council, stated that some factors fueling the population growth include the large number of retirees settling in the Middle Tennessee region and, as always, the Fort Campbell factor. We are also seeing relocations due to industry expansions, our housing appreciation market, and an excellent public school system.

The total population her through a seven year period grew from 103,535 to 119,284, a growth rate of 15.2 percent. The nearest major urban competitor in the state through that period was Chattanooga, which posted 8.7 percent growth. Nashville grew by 8.3, followed by Knoxville at 4.7 during the same seven year period.
