What it’s like
The place. Enterprise is a very small town in Clarke County, Mississippi, and the Chunky River runs in or beside it. Household incomes here run higher than across the county, and homes are valued at a level that many buyers would find modest. Winters are mild and brief, with January the coldest month, while summers are hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many. Across Clarke County, the largest workplaces include Quitman School Dist, Dart Container of Mississippi and Enterprise School Dist. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though there were fewer jobs in the county last year than the year before.
Things to do. The Chunky River is in or beside town, and Clarkco State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. Chicwillasaw Creek, a river, is also a short drive away. For an indoor outing, the Meridian Museum of Art is 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 Enterprise’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 Clarke County and the Meridian, MS metro.
