The Home of the Blues and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself, Memphis, Tennessee is a city steeped in history, commerce, and of course, music. It is located at the west point of Shelby County, Tennessee’s largest and most populous county.
Shelby County sprawls with a wide range of industry, spurred by its location flanking the Mississippi River, through which trade and people flow. It is highly diverse and ranks amongst the ten counties in the state for highest median household income level.
Unfortunately, Shelby County also has its fair share of crime. According to FBI statistics, Memphis has the highest violent crime rate of any city in Tennessee.
