Tennessee two largest cities do not rank very high compared to other communities.

Because of the population constraints, only two Tennessee cities were included, and neither was highly ranked.

Nashville placed #81 among the top 100, while Memphis came in at #98. The top five cities, in order, were: Austin, TX; Orlando, FL; Raleigh, NC; Tampa, FL; and Virginia Beach, VA.
