What is happening on the ground in Main Street Mall

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 Main Street Mall boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places Main Street Mall 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 Main Street Mall history

A nine-block downtown pedestrian mall stretching along Main Street, opened as the Mid-America Mall in 1976. The first bricks were laid August 28, 1975 at Main and McCall, and President Gerald Ford dedicated the mall on May 14, 1976. Per <a href="https://choose901.com/its-not-just-main-street-its-the-mall/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Choose901</a>, the Main Street Mall remains the longest pedestrian mall this side of the Mississippi and is now home to the MATA trolley line and the Main Street Sounds busking program.

For owners, Main Street Mall is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 19 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.
