How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Jackson For 2024
Every city has its best neighborhoods — where everyone wants to live — and the worst neighborhoods — where no one wants to live. And then you have the wealthiest neighborhoods, where no one can afford to live.
And by no one, we mean you because there’s always someone richer than you.
How do you quantify richer than you? We looked at one simple criterion:
Which neighborhoods have the highest median income?
Using Saturday Night Science, we researched income data from the Census and BLS for every neighborhood in Jackson.
We ranked every neighborhood in Jackson by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Sherwood-Audubon Area, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Jackson.
The richest neighborhoods in Jackson are Sherwood-Audubon Area, Heatherton, Sheffield, Heatherwood, Northeast, East Brooke, McCluer Road, Bellevue Oaks, Lake Trace, and Woodlea.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be West Jackson.
The poorest neighborhoods in Jackson are West Jackson, Lynch Street, Saint Paul, Elraine, and Delhaven.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Jackson.
