Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Sherwood Forest is a quiet, mid-century residential neighborhood, but it sits within a broader municipal context marked by elevated property crime and severe emergency service delays. Daytime visits to residents are generally uneventful, but nighttime travel and leaving vehicles unsecured require strict caution.”
— Gogo, on Sherwood Forest

About the area

Quiet ResidentialCar-DependentMid-Century SuburbTree-Lined

Sherwood Forest is an established, predominantly residential neighborhood in South Jackson featuring single-story ranch homes and mature pine canopies. It offers a calm suburban street layout but lacks commercial amenities within its immediate borders, requiring residents to travel to nearby commercial corridors for daily needs.

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.
