Jackson Auto Insurance (MS)

Buying Auto Insurance in Jackson, Mississippi

Jackson, Mississippi, the largest city in its state, has seen growth as industry moved to the area in the 1970s. It has also seen growth to its suburbs in the last few years.  The combination of growth patterns has caused an increase in traffic congestion during normal rush hour commutes. While the city proper is reaching a population of 184,256, Jackson has a density of 1,688 people per square mile. Residents have a median commute to work of 17.4 minutes. Over 5.8 percent of Jackson commuters spend over 45 minutes each way on their efforts to get to work. To alleviate some of the traffic congestion, plans are underway to build more roads. The city also runs a bus service.

In spite of this growth, Jackson residents still enjoy a low auto insurance rate for a city of its size. In 2005, the average premium for auto insurance was $894 per driver. However, as traffic increases, the number of accidents may also increase, causing insurance premiums to rise as well. Jackson also has a very high rate of auto theft for its size, with over 3,475 autos stolen in a recent year. This problem causes rate to rise.

Congestion affects driving expenses in other ways as well. Heavily traveled roads need repairs more frequently to keep them drivable. Poor roads increase auto repair bills because of wear and tear on the auto. Because of recent expenditures on road construction, the annual loss to drivers for increases in vehicle operating costs due to bad roads remains stable for now.
