    Jackson County in many ways is an enigmatic community. Economically, they have not been in the best…read moreof positions for many years. The population actually peaked in 2010 and has fallen slightly by about 0.3% since then estimated at just under 160,000. The county has been slow to grow in recent times as it has not experienced double digit growth over the course of a decade since the 1950s. It does not seem to attract large business as the six largest employers are various government functions (state corrections, local governments and schools), utilities and medical care. The unemployment rate in the county is slightly above state average, the average income is slightly below state average and the housing prices are largely flat relative to 2000. There are three (one public, two private) post-secondary institutions classified as colleges or universities. The number of persons holding a bachelor's degree or higher among eligible adults is more than 1/4 less than the national percentage. The county seat is Jackson which is a small city of about 33,000, or slightly more than 20% of the county population. Jackson has standard commercial offerings with a small mall. There are a few parks highlighted by Ella Sharp Park which features an annual balloon race. The claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of the Republican Party. The county is largely rural and is very laid back. There is plenty of open space and many back roads to drive in relative solitude. The Amtrak Wolverine Line runs through the City of Jackson on its route between Chicago and Detroit. The train station is actually very nostalgic and lovely. There is an airport west of the City of Jackson that had commercial service until 1984. It has since served only as a General Aviation Facility. Generally speaking, this is a relatively uninteresting place to visit unless you like to observe Midwest and Michigan cultural life. There are no marquis sites to see although there is a new Prison Museum that opened a little over a year ago that might have some promise to allow Jackson County to claim a noteworthy site for visitors. It would be a slow-and-easy place to live, however. The average commute time to work is about 18 minutes and the home prices are very reasonable though you won't see much increase in your investment. It is one of those counties in the US that easily gets overlooked.

    I'm disabled and widowed and for the most part I feel safe in Birdland however there havebeen times…read morethat I'm walking to the gas station its 3 blocks one way and the boy across the street runs out and scares me. I have opened my door to look at a strange vehicle possibly dumping another animal at the end of my street and this boy across the street yells obscenities at me and calls me the B word. Just wondering what I can do to keep this harassment at bay. They have been up against my home scanning debit and credit cards and on my property! What rights do I have anymore? I've have my flagpole ripped off my fence on my property. It never seems to end. I've watched this person destroy their own mailbox more than once. Nobody is home watching this person with clearly alot of issues. I'm not leaving here. My husband died in my home. I just wish people weren't so hateful and would be more helpful to others. I would never do or say these things to my neighbors. I didn't know that people can't be civil anymore regardless of how you voted. People would appreciate someone looking out for them instead of always having to have their head on a swivel. My property taxes have tripled here and I didn't vote for that. My street has never been fixed so where is all that money going? I sold my vehicle lastyear because I knew I couldn't afford it anymore, my groceries get delivered. I'm gonna keep praying for my neighbors that God gives them wisdom and direction. I'm a legal CPL holder and I'm gonna protect me and mines 24/7. I know you do your best and I'm grateful. Somebody somewhere is taking their last breath here on earth. I count my blessings everyday. Thanks for all you do.

    My experience with the department has been very positive. Special thanks to officer Grumhaus who…read morewas very kind and professional in helping me deal with a scary situation.
