What it’s like
The place. Crosby is a very small town in the southwest corner of Mississippi, in Wilkinson County. Household incomes in the county run low, and homes in town are modestly priced. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and a good deal of rain falls through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in government, with some in media and telecoms. The county's largest workplaces include the Wilkinson County school district, Field Memorial Community Hospital and Wilkinson County Senior Care. Joblessness in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The closest-known draws are a longer drive away, starting with Homochitto National Forest, a protected area of woodland, and Buffalo River. For history, Fort Rosalie and the Grand Village of the Natchez, an archaeological site, are 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 Crosby’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Wilkinson County.
