What it’s like
The place. Liberty is a very small town in southwest Mississippi, the kind of place where residents are likely to know one another. Across Amite County, household incomes run below the typical American household's, and homes tend to be modestly priced. Winters are mild and short, summers are long and hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents of Liberty work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and transport, warehouses and utilities also employing many. Across Amite County, the largest workplaces include the Amite County School District, Wallace Lumber Company and EverGreen Industries. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Much of what draws people outdoors lies a longer drive away. Homochitto National Forest is a protected area of woodland, and Percy Quin State Park is a state park. The Buffalo River is a river for anyone who likes to be near the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Liberty’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Amite County.
