What it’s like

The place. Boyle is a very small town in Bolivar County, in the Mississippi Delta, with a population that has stayed small enough for neighbors to know one another. Household incomes across the county run below the national picture, and the county has seen a slight dip in jobs over the past year. Winters are cool and short, with snow a rare event, while summers are long and hot and rain falls throughout the year.

Work. Residents of the area work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Bolivar County, some of the largest workplaces are Delta State University, Baxter Healthcare and Bolivar Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than it was a year earlier.

Things to do. The Grammy Museum Mississippi, a museum devoted to music, is in or beside town. McCool Stadium is a short drive away, and the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center is a longer drive away for those who want a full outing. Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge, also a longer drive away, offers protected land to explore.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Boyle’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 Bolivar County and the Cleveland, MS metro.
