The muddy water that comes from Mobile Bay and flows West. Muddy water from the Pascagoula rivers too.

I was raised in Louisiana and still consider it “home”. I currently live on the MS gulf coast and there’s no place in Louisiana that I would live over here. If you love to fish, have shrimp, crab, or crawfish boils, like a family oriented Mardi Gras, and enjoy events like Cruising the Coast or Jeepin the Coast, then it’s the place for you. But if you need to keep telling yourself you don’t like the color of the water, then you do you.

It’s different in the regard that it’s coastal. But if you’re saying the rest of the state entirely is worthless is just incorrect.
Jackson has some good quality suburbs. The Mississippi suburbs south of Memphis seem to be decent as well. Tupelo seems to fly under the radar. I’d rank it like this.
1. Coastal Miss
2. Jackson metro
3. Far north Mississippi
4. Tupelo
I’d move to Mississippi in a heartbeat if the money was right. The cost of living is so low. You can do so much with less money.

Yeah, we call them Coast Trash for a reason.

State tax on retirement income in Mississippi is already zero. It's a solid choice to retire, but the trick is to stay far enough from the gulf to avoid the hurricanes. But don't go too far north so you avoid those insane, long track tornadoes that seem to rape the state every few years.
Louisiana is trying to do what Mississippi is doing and slowly phase out the income tax. I think it will be a long road for both states to achieve that, but it's going to be worth it in the end.

Tupelo is a cool town, and the Toyota investment is definitely helping them.

I'd honestly rank Jackson metro last in that list. Madison and a few of the suburbs are nice. But I'd much, much rather be in a suburb of Memphis than a suburb of Jackson.
Granted I used to live in Memphis and Collierville, so I'm a bit biased here. Memphis has a better airport, more shopping, more amenities, an NBA team, more job opportunities, etc. And despite being much larger than Jackson, Memphis is just as friendly if you are around people that aren't actively trying to rob/murder you.

Of course, that will make it crowded and expensive.

Yes the airport and access to amenities that Memphis offers is a big plus. If you live on the coast you get the same stuff in Nola but have to worry about hurricanes.

I love Ocean springs and most of the Mississippi gulf coast. But I'd be worried about hurricanes if I'm choosing a a place to spend my retirement. I thought those barrier islands would be a huge help with protecting the coast from hurricanes, but Katrina sort of upended that theory for me.
The problem with Mississippi if you go too far north (Hattiesburg, McComb and north towards Jackson Metro and Memphis metro, etc.) is the tornado season. That area seems to get it worse than almost any other part of the country. And they tend to be long track wedge tornadoes, and it's every few years it seems.
The state really could exploit its tax advantages and build out some really nice retirement communities if they could find places with fairly benign weather - or at least somewhat isolated from the worst of hurricanes and tornados. Florida did that pretty well with Tampa, Orlando, Lakeland, Brandon, and Bradenton.

Water is extremely shallow for probably a half a mile and there is little to no surf.
Try a couple hundred of feet out and it's five or six feet deep.
And you definitely can't see the bottom through five feet of that coffee water.

Bro, Camille cut Ship Island in half in 1969, 36 years before Katrina made landfall.

I don’t know the environmental factors that cause the change in beaches and water between the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the Emerald Coast of Alabama/Florida, but there is a huge difference.

I didn't say it was a bad thing.
Especially when you compare it to the North Mississippi types around Corinth. Those are two worlds apart.
Posted on 5/13/22 at 2:07 pm to dewster
Using your logic, I say somewhere in south central Mississippi like Hattiesburg or Meridian would be ideal weather wise. Only kicker there is that those places have very few amenities to attract people like other locations listed. I’ll take my chance with a tornado over my chance with a hurricane.

Until that property is blown off the face of the earth, you have to fight your flood and homeowner's carrier tooth and nail, then when you consider rebuilding, you cannot get insurance. My FIL's experience anyway.
Posted on 5/13/22 at 3:26 pm to LoveThePass
I understand your point on this but there is one big problem, the barrier islands and the river. Mississippi will never have the beaches and water that those places have.

The good lord only made so many miles of beaches in the USA. Mississippi will also fill up as the other over build.
The US has anywhere between 95,471 and infinity miles of shoreline. I’m sure there’s plenty of areas that haven’t been developed yet, it just might be in a place that is remote or cold or all sorts of other things thar might be a negative, but it’s there and likely cheap if you want to try to tackle it.
