Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Belhaven is one of Jackson's most historic, educated, and well-maintained enclaves, anchored by Belhaven University and Baptist Health Systems. While significantly safer and wealthier than the broader city, visitors should still exercise baseline urban precautions regarding vehicle security and nighttime navigation given surrounding municipal crime trends.”

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
