Just out of curiosity I did some numbers crunching to get an idea of the ratio of HCP holders to county population.
I started with my home county Perry. And then did Davidson and Shelby Counties just to compare.
Perry County - Pop est 7,800 as of 2008
Approx. 5850 over 21
As of July 1, 09 - 435 valid HCP holders
1 in 14 Perry Countians over 21 YoA are HCP holders
Davidson County (Nashville area)- Pop est. 626,000 as of 2008
Approx. 469,500 over 21
As of July 1,09 - 14,672 valid HCP holders
1 in 32 Davidson County residents over 21 YoA are HCP holders
Shelby County (Memphis area) - Pop est. 907,000 as of 2008
Approx. 634,900 ovr 21
As of July 1, 09 - 33,331 valid HCP holders
1 in 19 Shelby County residents over 21 YoA are HCP holders
There's probably a bit of error in the numbers, since I had to guesstimate the precentage of the populations of each county that was under 21 and subtract it from the total pop. The stats that I was using only gave the % of pop under 18 YoA, so I had to guess at the compensating %.
