Tennessee Ranked # 4 in the U.S.
Colography Supply Chain Competitiveness Index™ (CSCCI)
Tennessee combines a central U.S. location, an unmatched interstate network, and Memphis’s global air cargo hub to create one of America’s most connectivity-driven supply chain ecosystems.
Why Tennessee Ranked #4
Tennessee’s position near the top of the national rankings reflects the strong combination of interstate connectivity, population reach, and distribution infrastructure that few states can match.
Rather than relying on one competitive advantage, Tennessee benefits from an integrated logistics ecosystem where Nashville’s interstate convergence, Memphis’s cargo volume, and Chattanooga’s rail and manufacturing base reinforce one another.
That structural connectivity enables companies to move freight efficiently across domestic markets while maintaining access to one of the nation’s most centrally located distribution networks, placing Nashville within one day’s drive of 65% of the U.S. population.
