What it’s like
The place. Belzoni is a small city in the Mississippi Delta and the seat of Humphreys County. It is an older community, with residents who are older than in most of the country, and homes here cost far less than in most American towns. Incomes across the county are modest, and more people live below the poverty line than is typical nationally.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many people. Across Humphreys County, the largest workplace is the school district. Jobs in the county grew over the past year, and unemployment there has eased compared with a year earlier, though it remains fairly high.
Things to do. The B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, a museum about the Delta's music and history, is a longer drive away. Closer to home, Tchula Lake offers time on the water a short drive away, and the Jaketown Site is an archaeological site, also a short drive away. Winters are mild with little or no snow, summers are hot, and rain is plentiful through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Belzoni’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Humphreys County.
