New Chicago by the numbers
The same data we use to price and underwrite our own portfolio, with the sample behind each figure shown.
What is happening on the ground in New Chicago
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 New Chicago boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places New Chicago 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 New Chicago history
Historic Black North Memphis neighborhood that grew up around a community school in the early twentieth century and exploded during the Firestone Tire era. On January 19, 1937, Firestone opened what became its most productive factory on Firestone Avenue, employing 7,000 workers at its 1945 peak before closing in 1983. Per the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Memphis,_Memphis,_Tennessee" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wikipedia entry on North Memphis</a>, the neighborhood has since been a focus of community development work led by the New Chicago CDC.
For owners, New Chicago is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 65 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.
