Read the comments on Jackson Jambalaya. At this point anyone putting their family in danger by living in Jackson is willfully ignorant. I love Jackson and am a former resident and hope it turns around, but my family's safety is my first priority x 1000.

A couple of years ago, Jackson had a crime index score of 3 on a scale of 1-100. It basically meant Jackson was only safer than 3% of the other metropolitan areas nationally.
Earlier this year the residents of Minneapolis were up in arms because they had recorded their 60 something homicide. They were renaming it Murderapolis. At the same time we were in the 90s on homicides.
The biggest thing Jackson has to overcome is apathy. Lumumba was reelected in June with only 18,000 votes in a city of 180,000 people. I think there were only about 30,000 voters cast total. If it doesn't change, the state will need to come in and just take over.
