== Theft rate statistics ==
Vicksburg has the 4th-highest Pokémon theft rate in the state of Mississippi and the 6th-highest murder rate in the state. Team Rocket has a big presence here, and the ports are often used after midnight to carry stolen Pokémon into boats going up or downstream to Greenville, Memphis, St. Louis, Baton Rouge and/or New Orleans, where they are sold on the black market. In 2016, Vicksburg reported 72 Pokémon thefts and 155 attempted thefts. It also reported 8 Pokémon murders that year. City officials have been trying their best to combat the problem for years. However, a lot of industry and businesses have left Vicksburg, so the city is also struggling to attract businesses.
== Pokemon ==
As with most places along the Mississippi River, Water-type Pokémon sometimes swim out of the river and walk into Vicksburg, often crossing the roads and streets and going through people's yards.

== Fun facts ==
* From May 18 to June 4, 1863, the Siege of Vicksburg, the final major military action in the Vicksburg campaign, took place. Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton surrendered the city to Union forces on June 4th.
* Despite the city's struggles, Vicksburg has plenty of amenities to offer to those traveling through Vicksburg. They have a mall, a Whataburger, an OfficeMax, a Solstice Apparel, a Nintendo World, a Kroger, a Shoney's, a Chick-fil-A, plenty of hotels, a nice historic downtown, and, of course, a Walmart. You shouldn't have to worry about anything happening to you or your Pokémon in those places, though. Most thieves know a lot better than to go to places where there's a lot of people to steal Pokémon.
* Vicksburg, like most of the Delta, is home to some of the strongest trainers in Mississippi.
