Zillow Analysis Identifies Memphis as Major Metro with Tightest Housing Deficit
New data from Zillow Group, Inc. highlights Memphis, Tennessee, as possessing the smallest housing deficit among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas.

The report suggests that while many large urban centers struggle with severe shortages of available homes, Memphis has maintained a relatively balanced ratio. This finding places the Mid-South city in a distinct position within the broader national housing landscape, where inventory constraints have been a primary driver of price appreciation and competition.
