What it’s like
The place. Aberdeen is a small city in Monroe County, Mississippi, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Typical home values here are modest, and incomes run below the county's, with a good many residents living below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and the town is small enough that daily life tends to be familiar and close.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Aberdeen are the Aberdeen School District, Monroe Regional Hospital and the Food Giant supermarket. Unemployment in the county has eased over the past year, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did a year earlier, and a typical commute is a fairly short drive, with very few people working from home.
Things to do. Aberdeen Lake, a reservoir in or beside town, is the closest spot for time near the water. A short drive away is Cotton Gin Port, an archaeological site, and a longer drive leads to Tombigbee State Park, a protected area. Winters are mild and bring little or no snow, summers are hot, and rain falls plentifully through the year, so outings are rarely ruled out by cold.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Aberdeen’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Monroe County.
