About East
The East planning district comprises communities that are safe and attractive. It features well-maintained, accessible public spaces encouraging neighbors to gather, interact, and celebrate with one another. Its street network is appropriately sized and suitable to the surrounding neighborhoods and is accessible and safe for all.
Demographic Profile
A demographic profile is a quick snapshot of who lives in East District and how the district has changed over time. It uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey to look at the people, households, and housing in the district.
​
Each profile compares two points in time, about 15 years apart. That way, you can see what the district looks like today and the direction it has been heading. Our goal is to give residents, community groups, and decision-makers the same set of facts to start conversations about what’s working in the district and what it needs.

Memphis 3.0 Update
Public Workshops
During the Memphis 3.0 Five-Year Update, residents from across the district came together through a series of community workshops to help shape the future of their community. Participants validated district priorities and anchors, explored updates to the Future Land Use Map, and helped inform zoning and policy recommendations through meaningful conversations and shared ideas.
​
The Office of Comprehensive Planning documented what residents shared throughout the update process and developed the public resources that reflect this community input. Explore the district's priorities, meeting notes, workshop materials, and maps to see how residents helped shape the district's vision for the future.
