## Purpose

This tool and its open data access let Memphis residents, community organizations, and officials make data‑informed decisions to improve our community. The Hub consolidates assessor records, permits, court filings, and ownership data in one place and fosters cross‑sector dialogue by bringing government, community, and academic stakeholders together around a shared evidence base. You can use this data to assess the scale of property abandonment in your neighborhood, contact owners of investor‑owned properties, track code violations, and strategically target problem properties.

## Key Features

With the Memphis Property Hub’s intuitive interface, you can quickly pinpoint individual parcels or uncover trends across entire geographic areas—all without writing a single line of code.

### [**Themes**](/memphis-property-hub/features/themes.md)

Switch instantly between Themes—Ownership, Occupancy, Evictions, Vacant Land, and more—with a single click. Access and analyze multiple property data layers in one interactive map. The Hub automatically integrates assessor records, permits, eviction filings, and vacancy indicators, applies real‑time filters and trend calculations, and refreshes each dataset on its scheduled cadence so you always work with the latest insights.

### [Views](#views)

Gain insights about a specific property or patterns across geographic areas. Choose to view data at the parcel-level or rolled up by different geographic boundaries, including by Zip Code, Census Tract, City Council District, and County Commission District.&#x20;

### [Filter & search](/memphis-property-hub/features/filter-and-search.md)

There are multiple ways to filter data down so you can focus on specific property types or patterns. Filters apply instantly - updating the map and charts in real time. You can combine multiple filters across many topics.

### [Statistics](/memphis-property-hub/features/statistics.md)

Statistics turn the map layers of the Property Hub into interactive dashboards. Each statistic serves a specific purpose, providing unique insights and facilitating data analysis and exploration. By combining these components together, you can explore, compare, and interpret complex datasets with ease to make informed decisions.

### [Draw Custom Boundaries](/memphis-property-hub/advanced-features/draw-custom-boundaries.md)

While the Property Hub has built-in boundaries, users can also draw their own boundaries. This is useful for filtering parcels for smaller neighborhoods, school zones, and other community boundaries of interest.&#x20;
