What is happening on the ground in Midtown

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 Midtown boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places Midtown 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 Midtown history

Memphis's eclectic urban core, Cooper-Young, Central Gardens, Overton Park, Cooper Square. Anchored by the Memphis Zoo, Brooks Museum, and Overton Park's Old Forest. Known for early-1900s craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revivals, and the city's most walkable retail districts.

For owners, Midtown is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 255 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.
