What is happening on the ground in Fairlawn

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 Fairlawn boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places Fairlawn 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.

03

A bit of Fairlawn history

Small residential pocket in the Orange Mound area of South Memphis (ZIP 38114), built out primarily between 1940 and 1969 with small bungalows, ranch homes, and low-rise apartment buildings. The neighborhood sits within the larger fabric of <a href="https://www.memphisheritage.org/messick-buntyn-and-orange-mound-east/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Orange Mound and Orange Mound East</a>, platted in 1890 as the first U.S. neighborhood developed for African American homeowners, and Fairlawn shares a census tract and civic-club orbit with adjacent Cherokee.

For owners, Fairlawn is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 20 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.
