I'm sure yall have heard about the crime in Memphis...its pretty high.
Tidbit about Frayser:
Frayser has long been home to the working class Americans. However, as factories in the area began to close, the population of Frayser began to markedly dwindle in the 1970s and 1980s, and it stands at 51,068 today. With a large majority of its residents earning incomes below the poverty line, only 6% holding college degrees, and a continued lack of business and industrial investment, the neighborhood is now one of the poorest and highest crime-rated areas of Memphis.
