According to a new study from Movoto, Memphis is among the top ten exciting places in Tennessee. Memphis ranked in at number eight in the study, which used criteria such as:
Nightlife per capita (bars, clubs, comedy, etc.)
Live music venues per capita
Active life options per capita (parks, outdoor activities, etc.)
Arts and Entertainment per capita (movie theaters, festivals, galleries, theaters, etc.)
Fast Food restaurants per capita (the fewer the better)
Percentage of restaurants that are not fast food (the higher the better)
Percentage of young residents ages 18 to 34 (the higher the better)
Population density (the higher the better)
Memphis is also young. Of the 646,900 residents or so, 26.62 percent of them are between the ages of 18 and 34. Memphis is also the second most densely populated place in the state, with over 2,000 people per square mile. To put that in perspective, that is about double the population of Nashville. Thinking of relocating to Tennessee? Consider moving to Memphis, where you will find plenty of people and plenty of activities to keep you busy.
