Static maps treat 4 am and 7 pm the same. They aren't. Distribution of reported incidents across the 24-hour clock, trailing twelve months, all incident types.
Property crime, violent crime, and vehicle theft all declined in 2025 against 2024. The declines have continued into 2026 across categories.
Two reasons. Plus the conviction behind both.
The honest one. Memphis publishes excellent open data and almost nobody uses it. The Memphis Police Department's incident feed contains every reported event, on a public ArcGIS endpoint, refreshed every day. Existing Memphis crime maps are paywalled, three years out of date, or sell home-security products in the margins. We built a free, current interface because the data belongs to Memphis, not to platforms that monetize it.
The obvious one. Yes, we manage rental properties in Memphis. Yes, we benefit when the city's reputation tracks its actual data. So does every small business owner, every homeowner watching property values, every neighbor on a block that's getting safer, and every city worker whose budget depends on local economic activity. We're not hiding the interest. We're trying to be useful with it.
We will also say this out loud: we believe in Memphis. For most of the last decade the national story about this city has been a single word. Dangerous. We hear it from out-of-town investors on every first call. The data tells a different story now. Homicides down. Carjackings down. Property crime trending down three years running. Memphis is not what it was in 2022, and we built this page to make that visible. The fuller economic case is on our why we believe in Memphis page.
This page shows reported incidents from the Memphis Police Department's public feed, nothing more. Reported crime is not total crime: events that go unreported or unsolved are in no public dataset, here or anywhere. Counts also track population and foot traffic, so a busy commercial ZIP and a quiet residential one are not directly comparable, which is why the map is colored by 12-month direction rather than raw counts.
Crime data does not measure how safe a place is, and it says nothing about the people who live there. We publish the same public figures for every Memphis area, rate no neighborhood as good or bad, and intend this as one factual input among many. It is not a basis for any assumption about the residents of any area, and it is not legal, investment, or fair-housing advice.
This map is free for everyone. Where you go next depends on why you're here.
