Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. While daytime visits for outdoor recreation along the Pascagoula River basin or dining are generally uneventful, West Moss Point experiences elevated property crime and occasional violent incidents relative to national averages. Exercise standard situational awareness, especially after dark, and stick to well-traveled thoroughfares.”

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.
