Jackson is the capital of Mississippi and is located in the
central part of the State. The
Jackson metropolitan area consists of Hinds, Madison, and Rankin Counties and
has a population of 440,000. Known
as the “Crossroad of the South” because of its geographic location, Jackson
is only 3 ½ hours from Memphis, 3 hours from New Orleans, 5 ½ hours from
Atlanta, and 6 hours from Dallas. Primarily
known for its southern hospitality and relaxed lifestyle, Jackson offers all of
the amenities of a large city without the congestion or faster pace.
In 1997, it was ranked by Reader’s Digest as 20th in its 301
Best Places to Raise a Family in America poll.
In 1998, Money magazine ranked Metro Jackson as 19th in the
South for Best Places to Live in America.
With its year round mild climate and the presence of a 33,000 acre
reservoir, outdoor recreational activities and sporting events abound.
Cultural events are also plentiful including Broadway productions,
symphony, opera, and international art exhibits. Its strong economic growth has allowed Jackson to attract
Nissan which plans to open a $1 billion dollar manufacturing facility in the
spring of 2003. The absence of HMOs coupled with a reasonable cost of living
makes Mississippi a very attractive place to live and practice medicine.
