What it’s like
The place. Cascilla is a small town in Tallahatchie County, in the Mississippi Delta, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are lower than across the country, and a larger share of residents live in poverty than is typical nationally. The population is middle-aged on average, and the area has hot summers, mild winters, and plenty of rain, with snow being rare.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals, and social care, or in manufacturing, retail shops, and farming, forestry, and mining. Local job numbers grew slightly last year, and unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier. Fewer adults hold a college degree than across the country, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a short drive away, suited to quiet walks and birdwatching. The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument, a protected area a longer drive away, honors Emmett Till and his mother. Enid Lake, a reservoir also a longer drive away, offers a place to spend a day on the water.

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 Tallahatchie County.
