What it’s like
The place. Crenshaw is a very small town in Panola County, Mississippi, where everyone is likely to know a good many of their neighbors. Household incomes here run below the county's, and the typical home is priced modestly. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, transport and warehousing, and the building trades. Across Panola County, the largest workplaces include the South Panola School District, Integrated Manufacturing Batesville and Walmart. The commute to work is a long one, and very few people work from home. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has gained jobs.
Things to do. Arkabutla Creek, a river, is a short drive away. For a longer drive, Sardis Lake is a reservoir that suits a day on the water, and Enid Lake is another. John W. Kyle State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive away.

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