This is true unfortunately with the biggest exceptions (outside of Nashville) being Huntsville and NW Arkansas. Even so, just as train lines correlated with migration patterns during the Great Migration, interstate routes correlate with migration patterns today. Obviously I-95 plays a big role here along with I-85, I-75, and I-77 which Northeasterners and some Mideesterners can take directly to get to coastal Southeastern states.
