What is happening on the ground in South City

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 South City boundary shown above. The Less/More marker places South City 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 South City history

Historic Black neighborhood in south Downtown Memphis centered on Vance Avenue and Foote Park, defined by the South City Strong neighborhood plan. The area was the site of the former Foote Homes public housing complex (built 1940), the last of Memphis's large family public-housing projects, which was demolished in 2018 under a $30 million Choice Neighborhoods grant. Per <a href="https://choosememphis.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Downtown Memphis Commission</a>, the South City redevelopment is replacing concentrated low-income housing with a mixed-income community including the Robert R. Church Park Senior Living complex and the new Foote Park at South City.

For owners, South City is a rental-demand market. Our typical-rent figure here is built on 18 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.
