What it’s like
The place. Cusseta is a very small town in Chambers County, Alabama, with far fewer residents than most towns of its kind. Homes here are valued above what is typical for the county's incomes, which sit on the modest side. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with little or no snow and plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Across Chambers County, some of the largest workplaces are Ajin USA, which stamps metal motor vehicle body parts, Johns Soules Foods Valley, a poultry processor, and WestRock CP, which makes folding paperboard boxes. Unemployment in the county is unchanged from a year ago, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. For a day out, Jordan–Hare Stadium and the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art are both a longer drive away. Outdoors, Chewacla State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive away, and West Point Lake is a reservoir for time on the water. Each of these is a longer drive from town, so they suit a planned outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cusseta’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 Chambers County and the LaGrange, GA-AL metro.
