If I may make a suggestion, stay out of living in hinds county. Check out Madison or rankin. I’d be more than happy to answer any questions about the areas.

When we came to town, we rented a very nice home in Eastover, the very best part of Jackson. Within a few months, a resident not far from us (loading up his vehicle to go to a competition at the range) was car jacked and shot two people. Then, not far from us, they started putting in halfway houses.
Fuck that noise. I am not here all the time. I did not want my wife (who is usually here) dealing with that.
We moved to Madison. It is a horrible, xenophobic, sterile bubble with absurd architectural building codes and no proper bars....but it is nice, with stable values and the good schools. The powers that be work to keep it that way. Their absurdity will not save them forever, but for now, it is working and I understand why they do things like they do.
The gun culture here is awesome.
