Tennessee updates population counts for local funding

Beginning January 1, 2026, covered local funding uses annual population updates between regular ten-year federal censuses. The University of Tennessee’s Boyd Center, through the Tennessee State Data Center, prepares county and city estimates. Tennessee’s Department of Economic and Community Development certifies county, city, and statewide populations before July 1 each year. It sends those figures to the state revenue and finance departments before July 1. Special census revisions and years with regular federal census revisions are exceptions to using the annual estimates. The law changes how covered money is divided, but sets no total funding amounts and creates no direct household payments.
