No-go after dark

Overall safety score

“Skip. Lake Hico and its surrounding northwest Jackson neighborhoods experience high rates of property and violent crime alongside notable economic and infrastructure disinvestment. While quiet during the daytime, there are virtually no tourist amenities, and non-essential visits or walking after dark are not recommended.”

About the area

Car-DependentResidentialQuietDisinvested

Lake Hico is a semi-suburban, mostly residential neighborhood in northwest Jackson surrounding a decommissioned power utility cooling reservoir. It consists primarily of mid-century single-family homes, open green expanses, and scattered local businesses along perimeter corridors.

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.
