Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Memphis, TN. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Memphis compares. Among the 80 largest places in Tennessee, Memphis is #2 by population, #3 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #77 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #63 for household income (#1 = highest). Its county, Shelby County, is #6 of 95 counties for average pay ($71,518).
Memphis has 618,980 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 8.8% of the population of Tennessee. It covers 290 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,136 people per square mile. The median age is 34.2, 12% younger than the state median (34.2 against 38.9).
The median gross rent is $1,181 a month (rent plus utilities), about the same as the state median ($1,181 against $1,189). Over a year that is 27.4% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $169,000, which is 3.3 times the median household income ($51,736); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 44.9% of households own their home, 33% below the state average (44.9% against 66.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Memphis, TN-MS-AR metropolitan area has 611,670 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $46,890 a year, 8% below the national median ($46,890 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are transportation and material moving (104,600 jobs, median $44,540); office and administrative support (83,140 jobs, median $45,940); sales and related (50,520 jobs, median $35,940). The area is most specialised in transportation and material moving (1.9 times) and protective service (1.3 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($116,680) and computer and mathematical ($89,420). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Shelby County was 4.4%. 63.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Shelby County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 76.2% drive alone, 0.8% use public transit, 1.7% walk, 9.2% work from home. 4.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 68% below the state average (4.9% against 15.2%).
28.0% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 10% below the state share (28.0% against 31.1%). 7.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 26% above the state share (7.7% against 6.1%). The poverty rate is 23.1%, 68% above the state rate (23.1% against 13.8%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 82°F (27.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 39°F (3.8°C). About 1,358 mm (53 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (138 mm) and Sep the driest (81 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Germantown (11 miles, rent 54% higher); Southaven (11 miles, rent 22% higher); Horn Lake (12 miles, rent 22% higher); Bartlett (12 miles, rent 39% higher). Rent differences are against Memphis; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
