Where Downtown sits in the Memphis area.
Downtown by the numbers
The same data we use to price and underwrite our own portfolio, with the sample behind each figure shown.
What is happening on the ground in Downtown
Live signals from the county and the city: how much building is underway, how many structures are flagged as derelict or substandard, and reported crime over the past year. Each is shown against the typical Memphis area we cover, measured per square mile so a big suburb and a small neighborhood compare fairly.
Counts cover the Downtown boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places Downtown against the per-square-mile rate of every Memphis area we manage, so the raw count is read in context rather than on its own. Refreshed continuously from public records. Reported incidents are not total crime and do not measure how safe an area is or anything about the people who live there. We show the same public figures for every area and rate none. This is factual public data, not legal, investment, or fair-housing advice.
A bit of Downtown history
The city's commercial and cultural heart on the Mississippi River bluffs. Includes the Beale Street Historic District, Court Square (Memphis's oldest park, 1828), the Pinch District, and the Medical District. Anchored by FedExForum, AutoZone Park, and the Memphis Cook Convention Center.
For owners, Downtown is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 37 live comps, so the number is grounded rather than guessed. We price each property to its own block and screen for residents who will stay.
