Welcome to Rankin County; a thriving location that is at the center of “the crossroads of the South.” As part of metropolitan Jackson, Rankin County enjoys all the benefits of living in a metropolitan area without all the headache that comes with big city life. Being one of the fastest growing counties in Mississippi, Rankin County will continue to offer all the best in community life, education, employment, housing, and quality of life. The time is right and all the resources are in place to continue to move Rankin County to becoming the best place to live in Mississippi and one of the best places to be in the South!

Rankin County is centrally located in Mississippi. Just nine miles east of Jackson, the capitol city, Rankin County is part of the metropolitan Jackson area. With I-20 and I-55 intersecting just outside its borders, Rankin County has easy access to most major cities in the South and Sunbelt regions of the U.S. In fact, Rankin County is within 200 miles of New Orleans and Memphis, Tennessee and within 400 miles of Atlanta and Dallas.

Rankin County has equal access to all points in Mississippi as well. Residents of Rankin County can be in northern Mississippi or enjoying Mississippi’s Gulf Coast within 2 hours of leaving home. Other points of interest and points of history are even closer giving Rankin County citizens access to their state where they can really get to know the Mississippi they live in.
