Section 8 Cash-Flow in Mississippi: Jackson, the Single Market
Mississippi appears on CloseHound as one screened Section 8 market: Jackson, graded B. That is a reliable-cash-flow rating, the right property pays, not a market that routinely beats rent everywhere. The FY2026 median 3-bed voucher across the state runs near $1,335, and property tax stays low at roughly 0.7%.
The catch is insurance, which runs near 1.4% of value, higher than its low property tax would suggest. On an inexpensive Jackson home that premium narrows the spread, so it belongs in every underwrite. Screen Jackson free on CloseHound against the live voucher rent and an actual insurance quote before you commit.
