I got this from Wikipedia



As of the 2005-2007 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, Blacks or African Americans made up 62.4% of Memphis's population; of which 99.9% were non-Hispanic blacks. White Americans made up 31.9% of Memphis's population; of which 98.3% were non-Hispanic whites. American Indians made up 0.2% of the city's population; of which 0.1% were non-Hispanic. Asian Americans made up 1.6% of the city's population. Pacific Islander Americans made up 0.1% of the city's population. Individuals from some other race made up 2.7% of the city's population; of which 0.2% were non-Hispanic. Individuals from two or more races made up 1.2% of the city's population; of which 0.9% were non-Hispanic. In addition, Hispanics and Latinos made up 4.6% of Memphis's population.[14][15]
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 650,100 people, 250,721 households, and 158,455 families residing in the city. The population density was 2,327.4 people per sq mi (898.6/km²). There were 271,552 housing units at an average density of 972.2 per sq mi (375.4/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 61.41% African American, 34.41% White, 1.46% Asian, 0.19% Native American, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 1.45% from other races, and 1.04% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.97% of the population.
The Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), the 42nd largest in the United States, has a 2003 population of 1,239,337, and includes the Tennessee counties of Shelby, Tipton, and Fayette, as well as the Mississippi counties of DeSoto, Marshall, Tate, and Tunica, and the Arkansas county of Crittenden.






So yes, it really is around 62%. The population in the city is so segregated in some areas that it may appear that the black population is higher than it really is. There are areas of the City that are 90% black and areas of the city that are 90% white.

Exclamation Black hair salons in Memphis

Im here on a corporate job transfer with my family and spending some months in Memphis. I/we cant find a good black salon or hairdressers to save our lives. Plenty of food and bbq, but no hair care specialists. In New York we have africans, the spanish ladies, americans and the gays to do our hair. Down here, in a metro area with this many black people, we cant find a good spot to get hair done. I am natural, and sometimes wear braids and pieces, extensions, etc. My sister is weaved-and Moms is moms. If we can find a good braider, we can, I guess attempt the rest at home. anybody know anywhere, any person that can help us? Thanks.

Hi there

I heard of a mobile hair and beauty service due to launch in NY pretty soon. Ellen Extensions. you can check out their website [url=http://www.ellenextensions.com]Ellen Extensions - Home | Hair and Beauty | Hair Loss/Thinning specialist[/url].

You might not be able to contact them right now but it might be worth sending them an email to join their mailing list so when they launch you can get an appointment straight away.

Hope this Helps Kimmy..

I go to Ashe's natural hair care salon. I love it! I started my locs almost a year ago (1 year on May 1st to be exact..lol) and I went there to start them and I have been going there ever since. They just don't specialize in locs though. They specialize in natural hair care. Their phone number is 901-743-3200
