I thought I'd research more stats surrounding the Knoxville vs. Chattanooga debate. Here are 5 battles I thought were interesting.
- 2000-2006 Population Growth: Knoxville +4.9% over Chattanooga -0.2%
- Median Household Income: Chattanooga $32,174 over Knoxville $30,473
- Graduate or Professional Degree: Knoxville 9.5% over Chattanooga 7.5%
- Registered Sex Offenders: Tied at 153 per city
- People in Local Jails: Knoxville 193 over Chattanooga 1,035
On sex offenders, Chattanooga's behind (or ahead) on sex offenders on a per capita basis. Great list!
ReplyDeleteJack,
ReplyDeleteGood call on the sex offender stat. I ran that line of data because in my book, any sex offender is a bruise to the city's ego.
