This report is intentionally characterized as "Observations" in its title. It does not pretend to be a definitive analytical study that leads to unshakable or hard conclusions. It is exactly what it claims to be, i.e. "observations". This does not mean that it cannot be useful. The intent was to present appropriate information in a way that will facilitate a better understanding of an important and complex subject. The purpose was to provide a factual basis for considering the relationships between population growth, local property taxes and levels of debt in Tennessee cities and counties.
