Hispanic Communities in TN? (Memphis, Knoxville: neighborhood, move to, area)

[Carioca1]

Hello, I am looking for Hispanic Communities in Tennessee so I can move here and do businesses.

I am Latin and I would like to talk to a group before that since searching the internet is so tedious and is not the same experience if I come here without counseling.

I have tried the internet but for me is not that easy to find that people that can assist you.

Thank you in advance.

You should post this on the Nashville forum since middle TN has far more Hispanics than east or west TN.

There is a guy named John Lamb that might be of interest...

Memphis has a large latino population in the Berclair/ Summer Ave neighborhood, as well as portions of Hickory Hill/Winchester Road. Memphis is also a lot more affordable to move to and start a business in than Nashville.

Chattanooga is a beautiful city, very affordable, and has a large Hispanic community:

Knoxville is also a growing and affordable city with an organized Hispanic community:

Welcome. Bienvenido | Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of East Tennessee


Nashville is, by far, the fastest growing area of Tennessee with a lot more jobs and a lot more Hispanics than the rest of the state. If it were me, I'd look in this order:
1. Nashville
2. Chattanooga
3. Knoxville
4. Memphis

There are several smaller communities in Tennessee with significant Hispanic populations, each with many Spanish-speaking churches, grocery stores, bakeries, etc.: Morristown, Clarksville, McMinnville, and Cookeville come to mind.

Memphis' Hispanic population has EXPLODED since this post was made. What used to be a large Hispanic community that was almost completely Mexican now has seen a HUGE influx of Venezuelans, with more Hispanics from Central America thrown in as well. Many are in Cordova, which some even starting to trickle to Lakeland as well.
