The city had a population of 153,701 at the 2020 census, down from 173,514 at the 2010 census.

The city sits on the Pearl River and is located in the greater Jackson Prairie region of Mississippi.
Founded in 1821 as the site for a new state capital, the city is named after General Andrew Jackson, who was honored for his role in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 and later served as U.S. president. Following the nearby Battle of Vicksburg in 1863 during the American Civil War, Union forces under the command of General William Tecumseh Sherman began the siege of Jackson and the city was subsequently burned.During the 1920s, Jackson surpassed Meridian to become the most populous city in the state following a speculative natural gas boom in the region. The current slogan for the city is The City with Soul. It has had numerous musicians prominent in blues, gospel, folk, and jazz. The city is located in the deep south halfway between Memphis and New Orleans on Interstate 55 and Dallas and Atlanta on Interstate 20. Being at this location has given the city the nickname the crossroads of the south.
The city has a number of museums and cultural institutions, including the Mississippi Childrens Museum, Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, Mississippi Museum of Art, Old Capital Museum, Museum of Mississippi History. Other notable locations are the Mississippi Coliseum and the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, home of the Jackson State Tigers Football Team.
The Jackson metropolitan statistical area is the states second largest metropolitan area overall, due to four counties in northern Mississippi being part of the Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area. In 2020, the Jackson metropolitan area held a GDP of 30 billion dollars, accounting for 29% of the states total GDP of 104.1 billion dollars.

[Mongoloid] is a word that represented in the past indigenous people to [East Asia], [Central Asia], Southeast Asia, North Asia, South Asia, the Arctic, the Americas, and the Pacific Islands. One common trait they shared was a birth mark named [Mongolian spot] which was a mark each individual received on their lower [lumbar], and was a flat blue to gray discoloration marked on the skin. This was usually resolved by puberty. Elders would refer to children as blue butts for example due to the commonality of the condition amongst the mongoloids. This term was then [phased] out in the late 60s and had a resurgence in the early 80s due to a popular punk band that used the word [mongoloid]to denote it as a word to reference severely handicapped individuals, or to be more frank, people with Down syndrome. This term is now used as a derogortory term in any way other than its original use. Although the use of it to describe the previous stated nationalities, it is now deemed derogatory as well. To sum this explanation up, today the word is used to insult others of their sever lack of intelligence, and in the past it was originally used to denote a large group of ethnic ethnicities.
