Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Memphis
2026-10-07
🏆 #1 of 6 Memphis metro counties, #1 of 14 Tennessee counties — ALEX Intelligence 2026 Migration Trends
Davidson County, TN, sent 66 fewer households to Memphis in 2022-23 than in 2021-22 — the steepest decline among all counties sending households to the Memphis market. This is not a sign of Memphis’s growth, but of Nashville’s isolation. As housing costs in Davidson County rise, residents are not moving to Memphis — suggesting that Memphis is not seen as a viable alternative. This data point, drawn from ALEX Intelligence’s proprietary migration analysis, reveals a critical disconnect in regional economic integration.
For context: Nashville and Knoxville remain separate markets. The data shows that even within Tennessee, Memphis is not attracting displaced residents from the state’s largest county.
