MEMPHIS COMMUNITY ANALYSIS 2
Memphis Community
Memphis is a city located in the southwestern part of the state of Tennessee in the United
States of America (USA). It measures 76 KM
2
, which makes it the 20
th
largest city in the USA
(See Appendix 1) (Memphis Population, 2020). Hence, due to the large size of the town, it is
evident that planners and state administrators are required to ensure that the resources in
Memphis, such as infrastructure, are evenly distributed. Besides, the population size of the city is
estimated to be 650,618, and its metropolitan area has about 1.33million people (Memphis
Population, 2020). Even though the population is not very massive compared to other cities such
as New York City, administrators have the responsibility of ensuring that the needs and interests
of all American citizens living in Memphis are adequately met without straining the available
resources.
According to the American Community Survey (ACS), Black Americans make up
64.22% of the total Memphis population, making them the majority of people living in the
region. They are followed by White Americans, who make up 29.08% of the population (see
Appendix 2). Asian Americans living in the area make up 1.56%, while Native citizens make up
0.21% of the community. Other races account for 4.93% of the population (American Fact-
Finder, 2020). This data shows that there is an uneven population in the area, which may affect
the representation of minorities in the political sector of the community. Also, 7.7% of the
Memphis population is made up of children with five years and below, while 25.2% are the
people between five and eighteen years. Besides, 54.8% of the population is made of people
between eighteen and sixty-five years, while 12.3% are citizens who are above sixty-five years.
Notably, male people make up 47.4%, while female people make up 52.6% of the total
