What it’s like
The place. Belmont is a small town in Tishomingo County, in the northeast corner of Mississippi, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and homes here cost less than in many parts of the country. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with rain and the occasional melted snow spread across the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, or in transport, warehousing and utilities. The largest workplaces in Belmont include Tempursealy, a mattress maker, Sun-air Products, which makes angle irons and other metal goods, and the Piggly Wiggly grocery store. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, and almost no one works from home.
Things to do. Tishomingo State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Bay Springs Lake, a reservoir, is also close by. A longer drive leads to the Natchez Trace Trail, one of the best known historic routes in the region.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Belmont’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 Tishomingo County.
