About Tennessee
"Music City USA" has lived up to its nickname since it was first dubbed the title in the early 1960’s. With this music-infused identity being founded in the capital of the state, it isn't the only area you’ll find an array of melodic inspiration.
Just a few hours East, Memphis holds its own impressive music heritage. Despite the market base in tourism due to their music legacy, Tennessee's economy is made up of manufacturing and services.
Some of the most important and common products are chemicals, apparel and electric machinery. The state ranks high in the mass production of materials such as marble and zinc.
Overall, crime stats in Tennessee are above the national average. Violent crime is the most common and is double the national average.
Hate crimes also surpass the national average with most of these crimes stacking against race. Property crime rate is also on the higher end of the scale with theft more than doubling burglaries.
