“Go with care. Handsboro is a generally peaceful, historic bayou community, though safety diminishes slightly along the high-traffic commercial corridor of Pass Road. Visitors will find quiet residential streets and scenic waterways, but should exercise standard situational awareness in commercial parking lots.”

About the area

Bayou / WaterfrontCar-DependentQuiet Residential PocketsSuburban Strip

Located along Bayou Bernard in eastern Gulfport, Handsboro is one of the city's oldest settled areas, featuring a mix of waterfront homes and mid-century suburban housing. The neighborhood transitions from sleepy residential lanes near the water to an auto-centric retail strip along Pass Road.

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.
