What is happening on the ground in Messick-Buntyn

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.

Counts cover the Messick-Buntyn boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places Messick-Buntyn 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.

The area developed in the early twentieth century as a streetcar suburb along Southern and Park avenues, with bungalow housing stock dating to the 1910s-1930s.

For owners, Messick-Buntyn is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 24 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.
