Married-Couple Households, 2000-2010

 

The map shows the percentage of married-couple families by census tract in Tennessee. For Tennessee as a whole, 48.7% of households consist of a husband-wife family. Individual counties range from 36.6% in Davidson County to 68.1% in Williamson County. There is a noticeable correlation (47.5%) between the percentage of married-couple households and 2000-to-2010 population growth. Of the 10 counties with the highest rates of married-couple households, six appear on the list of the 10 fastest-growing counties: Williamson, Fayette, Wilson, Loudon, Sumner, and Robertson. It is somewhat curious that four of those counties surround Davidson—the lowest-ranking county in terms of married-couple households.

There is a noticeable correlation (47.5%) between the percentage of married-couple households and 2000-to-2010 population growth.
