Tennessee

Tennessee is the fifteenth-most populous state and one of the fastest-growing in the South, powered by domestic in-migration to Nashville. Its economy runs on healthcare management, automotive manufacturing, logistics (FedEx in Memphis), music and tourism, and it levies no tax on wage income — one of the reasons it keeps attracting movers from higher-cost states.
