What it’s like
The place. Coila is a small town in Carroll County, Mississippi, where the Census counts the county rather than the town on its own. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical resident is middle-aged or older. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall heavily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in transport, warehouses and utilities, or in manufacturing. Unemployment across Carroll County is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county had slightly fewer jobs in the most recent year on record. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. The Yazoo River, a river a longer drive away, is one of the best known waterways in the state and a common place for fishing and boating. Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area a longer drive away, offers quiet walks among wetlands and woods. Holmes County State Park, also a protected area a longer drive away, is another option for a day outdoors.
