Insurance Activities Inside This Issue:

In Tennessee, the per capita personal income in 2005 was $30,969, up 4.5 percent from the previous year. The Tennessee metro-politan counties had a per capita income of $33,341 in 2005. Dur-ing the same period, the nonmetropolitan coun-ties had a per capita personal income of $24,646. Per capita personal in-come is the annual total personal income of resi-dents divided by the residential population as of July 1. Personal income is derived by summing the net earn-ings by place of resi-dence, person’s rental income, personal divi-dend/interest income, and transfer payments. Personal income is measured prior to de-ductions of income tax and other personal taxes and is reported in current dollars. In sim-pler terms, it is the total income on the front page of your 1040 tax form. This data can be influenced by large growth (or decline) in population, natural dis-

asters (i.e., flooding or hurricanes), commuting populations (those that primarily work in other counties), and state and local taxes. In 2005, the counties with the highest per capita personal income were Williamson ($47,712), Davidson ($42,192), Shelby ($36,160), Hamil-ton ($34,799), Wilson($34,030), Knox ($32,815), Montgomery ($31,812), and Sumner ($31,033). The remaining 87 counties are all below the state average. The lowest counties were Hancock ($15,526), Lake ($16,744), Wayne ($17,928), Johnson ($18,813), Lauderdale ($19,291), Morgan ($19,414), Scott ($19,632), and Union ($19,711). The counties with the largest percentage growth during the past year were Montgomery (up 10.2 per-cent), Carroll (up 7.8 per-cent), Lake (up 7.5 per-cent), Fayette (up 6.8 per-cent), Crockett (up 6.6 percent), and Haywood (up 6.5 percent). Coun-ties with the lowest per capita income growth in-clude Maury (up .8 per-

cent), Clay and Lawrence (both up 1 percent), Rhea (up 1.6 percent), Mar-shall (up 1.8 percent), and Van Buren (up 1.9 percent). The urban and suburban counties that comprise the metropolitan statisti-cal areas had a higher per capita personal in-come than their rural counterparts. In the five years since the census, the per capita personal income in-creased by over 30 per-cent in three counties. These counties are Greene (up 33.5 percent), Montgomery (up 32.6 per-cent), and Campbell (up 30.1 percent). During this period, four counties increased less than 10 percent. They are Mar-shall (up 1.3 percent), Maury (up 4.9 percent), Crockett (up 8.4 percent), and Giles (up 9.9 per-cent).
