Hancock
6.8
High score (8-10)
Bay St. Louis spent the twenty years after Hurricane Katrina reinventing itself as the laid-back, artsy alternative to the casino strip further east. The town square has galleries, restaurants, and a weekly market drawing people from across the Gulf Coast. The community has a noticeably higher percentage of New Orleans transplants and creative types than anywhere else in Mississippi, which makes it significantly more open to new people. It's still a small Mississippi town at its core and the social ceiling is real, but as Gulf Coast options go this is the most liveable.
