Chattanooga is the 140th largest city in the United States by population (179,000) and is the largest city of the Chattanooga, TN-GA Metropolitan Statistical Area (528,000) in Tennessee and Georgia.
Downtown is a small area, most of which is located on a grid that is about 7 blocks wide and 13 blocks long.
