2010 to 2020 Tract-level Population Change
We developed a nationwide layer of population change at the census tract level using 2010 and 2020 census data. Patterns of change can be explored in our interactive map or downloaded for use in other analysis.

This layer provides a comparison of the 2010 and 2020 population for each census tract in the United States. It is based on 2020 TIGER/Line features published by the US Census Bureau and incorporates crosswalk weights from the National Historic Geographic Information System.
Data Tables for 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census
We extracted data from the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census Summary File 1 tables for Tennessee counties and incorporated places. The QuickStat “crosswalk” table at the bottom of this page shows which fields from the 2020 Census Redistricting release corresponds to data published in prior decades.
The tables include most variables from the SDC QuickStat format such as total population, population by race/ethnicity, housing units and population in group quarters.
