BEA 2024 · Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro prices. Housing figures are city-level.
Ratios use the advertised annual pay range’s lower bound, before taxes. Regional prices are not a personal budget.
Peer group: dental · general dentistry · Full-time · hours not stated · Pay composition not stated. National listings with usable annual USD pay and local data, posted within 180 days of the 2026-09-22 snapshot. Rankings use lower pay bounds; higher percentiles mean more favorable comparisons. Only the same rent observation month is compared.
Ratings need at least 30 other listings, five employers and three locations; no employer may contribute over 35%. Strong: top quarter; Typical: middle half; Weaker: bottom quarter. Missing ratings mean insufficient comparable data, not a poor offer. These are offer comparisons, not city grades.
