Apparently, even the most dangerous big cities can attract millionaires.

Memphis, Tennessee, the Southern city infamous for its violent crime problem, has experienced an explosion in wealthy homeowners, according to newly released housing data.

Research released by RentCafe showed that the number of Memphis-area homeowner households earning at least $1 million annually surged 931% between 2020 and 2024.

The increase puts Memphis among the nation's 20 fastest-growing metropolitan areas for millionaire-income homeowners, trailing only Knoxville within Tennessee.

Memphis has consistently ranked among America's most violent major cities, recording approximately 1,849 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2025.

The situation became so dire that President Donald Trump announced a federal crackdown last year, describing conditions as "dire in one of our Nation's most historic cities."

"The city of Memphis, Tennessee, is suffering from tremendous levels of violent crime that have overwhelmed its local government's ability to respond effectively. This situation has become dire in one of our Nation's most historic cities," the White House said in a statement at the time.

Crime has been easing, though. Nine of the 10 offenses the Council on Criminal Justice tracks were lower in Memphis in 2025 than in 2024, with homicide down 24%, robbery down 30% and carjackings down 48%.

Yet while the city's reputation has been dominated by shootings, robberies and federal intervention, a very different story has been unfolding in its housing market.
