What it’s like
The place. Eads sits within Shelby County in the Memphis area of western Tennessee, a county where most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with little snow and plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in transport, warehouses and utilities, and professional services and shops also employ many people. Across Shelby County, unemployment is a little higher than a year ago and job numbers slipped last year, while most people's commute is a fairly short one.
Things to do. For a short outing, Herb Parsons Lake is a lake a short drive away. For a longer day, the Memphis Zoo, a zoo, and Shelby Farms, a park, are both a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Shelby County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Shelby County and the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro.
