What it’s like
The place. Conehatta is a small community in Newton County, Mississippi, quiet in the way small rural places are. Typical home values are modest, and household incomes across Newton County sit below the national picture. Winters are mild and short, with the coldest weather in January when days stay cool and nights dip just above freezing, while summers turn hot, especially in July.
Work. Residents of Conehatta work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and government close behind. Across Newton County, some of the largest workplaces are East Central Community College, Weir Esco Newton and the Newton County School District. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the number of jobs slipped slightly last year.
Things to do. Bollybusha Creek and Bogue Faliah are both rivers a short drive away, and make an easy trip for time near the water. A longer drive brings you to Bienville National Forest, a protected area of woods, and to Golden Memorial State Park, another protected area good for a day outdoors.

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