Next up, Chattanooga is getting closer to edging out Knoxville as the most populous city in East Tennessee.
Chattanooga grew 2.15 percent from 2010 to 2012, reaching a population of 171,000 last year. Knoxville grew 1.85 percent to reach 182,000 residents.
But annexation by Chattanooga should bring in another 65 hundred residents in coming months, which will further close the gap with Knoxville.
And Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger says 2013 already looks to be an even better year than 2012.
