Find a Job You Really Want In
What is success? Is it the amount of money you have in your bank account, at any given point? Is it that feeling you get after delivering a killer presentation, or even a pretty decent bar joke?
Or is it something biggerâsomething wholly unnamable, undefinable, immeasurable, and totally subjective?
Probably so.
But here at Zippia, we like things that we can neatly measure and then expound upon. So yes, with the Power of Math, we have determined the unarguable, totally objective 10 most successful cities in Tennessee. And here they are:
- Arlington
- Brentwood
- Signal Mountain
- Germantown
- Spring Hill
- Farragut
- Collierville
- Nolensville
- Lakeland
- Franklin
If you are trying to argue already with our unarguable list, keep reading. Thereâs a method to this madness.

The first thing that comes to most capitalist minds in terms of success isâmoney. After all, rich people must be successful, right?
Meh. Maybe. But we think thereâs a bit more that goes into it than that. So we looked at this set of criteria from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey:

If youâre still looking at this post thinking, âSurely, such superficial methods canât possibly measure a city, or rather, the individuals that make up that cityâs success!â well, youâre probably right.
But we like to measure things, and when it comes to success, we feel pretty successful in our approach. Congrats to Arlington and our winners. And for those who didnât make the cut, well, better luck next year.
