Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Memphis

Memphis’ in-migration declined by 3.6% between 2017-18 and 2022-23 — a shift that reveals deeper economic momentum. DeSoto County, MS now leads as the top source of new households, not Los Angeles or Austin. This isn’t a retreat — it’s a recalibration. The city is no longer relying on distant inflows but is instead building stability through local investment and industrial expansion.
