What it’s like
The place. Holcomb is a very small community in Grenada County, Mississippi, where people know their neighbors and the pace is quiet. Homes here are valued below what many would expect elsewhere in the country, and household incomes across Grenada County are on the modest side. Winters are mild and short, with snow a rare sight, while summers are hot and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops and in government. Across Grenada County, some of the largest workplaces are Lennox International, Modine Manufacturing Company and the Grenada School District. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a short drive away, and the Mississippi Wetlands Management District is another protected area close by. For a bigger stretch of water, Grenada Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away. Anyone interested in the region's history can make the longer trip to the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument.

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 Grenada County and the Grenada, MS metro.
