A particular goal of mine will be to map Jackson Mississippi’s highest poverty areas. Source: Poverty Rate by Open Data for the City of Jackson, MS

There are many more neighborhoods with high poverty rates in the city of Jackson, MS but these below will be my primary focus. Once these areas are mapped, the scope will expand.

Focus

  1. The neighborhood block Northeast of Boling Street and Bullard Street.

    Includes: Hoover Street, Daniels Street, McAdoo Street, Broadview Street, Ford Avenue, Englewood Street, Hermitage Street, Garden Circle, Sagamore Street, Sagamore Street, Lynda Street, Breazeale Street, Dutchman Row, Palo Alto Street, Richmond Circle, and Ford Avenue.

  2. Immediate area around Hawkins Field Airport.

    The area Northeast of Sunset Drive, Coleman Avenue, and Elraine Boulevard up to Medgar Evers Boulevard.

  3. The area between West Silas Brown Street, West Pascagoula Street, and South Gallatin Street.

5/16/25: Set up a file in QGIS with various satellite imagery layers and imported a downloaded GeoJSON file from OpenAddresses.io.

The OpenAddresses layer is styled so that the house number (number) and street name (street) appear together, greatly enhancing my ability to determine correctness.

The expression used to be able to style this is as follows: "number" || ' ' || "street".

I’ve been able to contribute in the ‘Gardens of Englewood’ neighborhood and a few houses West of those.
