The Clarion Ledger reports that newly released U.S. Census Bureau data, which offers a snapshot of local populations nationally from July 2021 to July 2022, counted 145,995 Jackson residents. That figure represents a decline of 3,766 people living in Mississippi’s capital. The 2.5 percent drop makes Jackson the fastest-shrinking city in America with at least 50,000 residents.
