Hinds County, not Jackson
Hinds County context, not Jackson figures
These are Hinds County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Jackson measurements.
- Establishments in Hinds County4,878
- Employment at those establishments, Hinds County84,440
- Covered employment, Hinds County109,172
- Average annual pay, Hinds County$59,413
- Average weekly wage, Hinds County$1,143
- Housing units permitted, Hinds County198
- Of those, single family, Hinds County185
- County product, 2024, Hinds County$15,444,192,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hinds County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hinds County$48,205
Every figure in this section is published for Hinds County as a whole and is not a measurement of Jackson. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Jackson questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Jackson, Mississippi?
146,631, in 61,415 households. Jackson city covers 111.68 square miles of land, which is 1,313 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Jackson in?
Jackson lies in more than one. By area it is 96.2 percent in Hinds County, 2.9 percent in Rankin County. This page sits under Hinds County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Jackson?
$42,071. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $111,700. Median gross rent is $1,055 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Jackson businesses?
124 7(a) approvals totalling $76.7 m, across 33 lenders, median approval $276,300, plus 7 504 approvals worth $4.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Jackson, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Jackson borrowers get paid back?
Of the 14 loans that have reached a final outcome, 12 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 14.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Jackson figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Hinds County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Jackson.
Is zoning published for Jackson?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
