Overall safety score

“Skip. Forest Hill in South Jackson is primarily an aging residential neighborhood with elevated violent and property crime rates and very few visitor-oriented attractions. Travelers to the Jackson metro area are better served staying in safer, amenity-rich hubs like Fondren, Belhaven, or the neighboring suburban cities of Ridgeland, Flowood, and Madison.”

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.
