What it’s like

The place. Glen is a very small town in Alcorn County, in the northeast corner of Mississippi, where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and more households than across the county sit below the poverty line. Winters are cool, with barely any snow, and summers are hot and rainy.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Across Alcorn County, some of the largest workplaces are Mississippi Reman, which makes diesel engines, Magnolia Hospital, and the Alcorn School District. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and very few people work from home.

Things to do. A short drive away, Corinth Depot is a museum, and the Siege and Battle of Corinth Sites are an archaeological site tied to the Civil War. Farther afield, Shiloh National Military Park is another archaeological site, and Pickwick Lake is a reservoir that suits a day out on the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Glen’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 Alcorn County and the Corinth, MS metro.
