Research and Demographics

The East Tennessee Development District staff operates the Data Affiliate Program through the U.S. Census Bureau. This program provides the ETDD office with extensive census information in exchange for ETDD staff providing technical assistance to individuals requesting information. After each decennial census, census summary reports are prepared for each county. These reports are distributed to local officials, libraries and others upon request.

The staff surveys, analyzes and compiles statistical information on the region and prepares and distributes numerous reports. These publications and reports include:
