Your Value in Jackson, Mississippi: Income, Age & Height Compared

High score (8-10)

Pascagoula is an industrial coast town built around Ingalls Shipbuilding, one of the largest shipyards in the country, which means the workforce has more blue-collar transplants than most Mississippi counties. Ocean Springs — also in Jackson County — is the more liveable, artsy side with galleries and a better restaurant scene, and positions you for a more interesting social pool. The Mardi Gras season shows up meaningfully here. If you anchor in Ocean Springs specifically rather than Pascagoula you're dealing with a noticeably more open community.
