State Sen. Shane Reeves, who represents part of Rutherford County, as well as Bedford, Moore, Lincoln and Marshall Counties in the Tennessee State Senate, compiled a report analyzing Tennessee’s comparison to other states in finance, business, education, family and health.

For consistency, the rankings in the Reeves Report have been structured so that the lower-numbered ranking (1st) always represents a preferable outcome as compared to a higher-numbered ranking (50th). For example, for “Heart Disease Death Rate,” the most desirable ranking is 1st, which would represent the lowest death rate from heart disease. Similarly, for “Cost of Living,” the most desirable ranking is 1st, which would represent the lowest cost of living among the 50 states.

All rankings reflect the most recent data available as of the publication of this report, which was compiled by Wade Thompson under the direction of Sen. Shane Reeves.

Reeves plans to update this report in the spring of 2021.
