I'm from NE Jackson, actually. crime is lower here, but i've never understood why, plenty of areas sure look as bad as Jackson. but when i said 'bad element' i meant areas that i would be nervous to live near, let alone buy. yeah, you're unlikely to get shot on these streets, for whatever reason crime is lower down here, but you'll still feel like you're about to get shot. if buying 5 or 10 blocks from these areas makes you nervous, then Gport or Biloxi or out. of course Dhead has it's bad areas too, just meth instead of crack.
