Jackson, MS is now the fastest-shrinking city in the United States with at least 50,000 residents. In addition to having one of the highest murder rates per capita in the nation, the city has experienced a highly-publicized drinking water crisis and residents went without trash pickup for more than a month. Mayor CHOKWE ANTAR LUMUMBA (40) was not available for a comment for this story.
