== Theft rate statistics ==
Madison and Ridgeland have low Pokémon theft and murder rates, as they are suburbs of Jackson, and suburbs are typically safer than the cities. Canton, on the other hand, not so much. The city, for years, used to rank in the Top 3 of highest Pokémon theft and murder rates in Mississippi. However, things are turning around there, starting with Nissan opening a vehicle assembly plant there in 2003, and while the rates have gone down in Canton, Pokemon theft is still a problem in the city, along with poverty.

== Fun facts ==
* If you split Madison County into two, South Madison would be one of the safest counties in the state, and North Madison wouldn't be a very desirable place.
* East of Canton is an underground Team Rocket laboratory out in the middle of nowhere, out in the forest so travelers won't see the path, which is covered up pretty good. Several experiments have been conducted over the years at the Canton Rocket Laboratory, and the place is also used for research which is not known to the public. Whatever it's for, though, it ain't any good.
* Madison and Ridgeland didn't start growing until the 1970's and 1980's. Canton was already a small city, and it was much more dangerous for Pokémon then.
