What it’s like

The place. Grenada is a small city in north Mississippi, home to a population a little smaller than many towns its age. Residents tend to be somewhat younger than the typical American, and most homes are lived in by their owners, though renters make up a real part of the town. Incomes run a little below the county's, and a good many households live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, government and shops close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Grenada are Lennox International, which makes air-conditioning and heating units, the Grenada School District, and Walmart. Jobs across Grenada County grew over the past year, and unemployment there is lower than a year ago. The typical commute is short, and very few people work from home.

Things to do. Grenada Lake, a large reservoir, and Hugh White State Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away and suit time on the water or outdoors. Batupan Bogue, a river, runs in or beside town. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and the year is wet overall, which keeps the surrounding countryside green.
