The Pascagoula Metropolitan Statistical Area was a metropolitan area in the southeastern corner of Mississippi that covered two counties - Jackson and George. As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 150,564. The area was significantly impacted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. A July 1, 2009 estimate placed the population at 155,603.[1] Prior to the hurricane, the area had experienced steady population growth. It was also part of the larger Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula Combined Statistical Area.
As of 2020, this area is no longer designated as a metropolitan statistical area. Jackson County is part of the Gulfport–Biloxi metropolitan area, and George County is not included in any metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area.[2]
