Memphis' Midtown Memphis air quality reflects the historic central Memphis residential and cultural corridor, with vehicle traffic on Poplar Avenue and the surrounding dense residential and commercial character contributing local sources. The Overton Park greenway provides natural buffering, while the flat terrain allows reasonable dispersal and Midtown maintains moderate Memphis metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
