What it’s like
The place. Cedarbluff is a small town in Clay County, in northeastern Mississippi. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and home values are modest by national standards. The typical resident is middle-aged, and a considerable share of households live below the poverty line. Summers are hot and wet, winters are cool, and snow is rare, with rain falling across much of the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole. Commutes are short, and few people work from home. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has had slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Bogue Culley, a river a short drive away, offers a quiet place to spend an afternoon near town. Davis Wade Stadium, a stadium a longer drive away, is a well-known place for sports events. The Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area a longer drive away, gives visitors room to walk and watch wildlife.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Clay County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Clay County and the West Point, MS metro.
