The Community:
Jackson was recently named the fastest growing city in America and offers a low cost of living, no state income tax
and is only 80 miles east of Memphis and 120 miles west of Nashville. Excellent choice of schools, religious opportunities, shopping and dining. The city has about 67k people, but daytime population is probably about 200k and we serve a medical community of about 500k+ patients.
The mid-size city is an excellent place for those who love the bustling activity of an urban center and appreciate the small-town feel that comes with living near a rural environment. The city has 12 parks covering 800 acres of recreation, sports, and green spaces. Five state parks are within a 1-2 hour drive.
Jackson is an affordable place to call home. Based on Sperling's Best Places index, which sets the national average at 100, Jackson is overall 19% cheaper than the rest of the United States. It's also about 8% more affordable than the rest of Tennessee. Much of these cost savings are in housing, which is about 47% cheaper than in the US. It's one of the most affordable cities to live in Tennessee.
