What it’s like
The place. Louin is a very small town in Jasper County, Mississippi, home to far fewer people than most places on this site. Residents are older than in the typical American town, and a four-year degree is less common here than across the country. Winters are mild and short, with snow a rarity, while summers are hot and the year is a wet one.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades and in shops. Across Jasper County, the largest workplaces include Peco Foods' Bay Springs processing plant, the metal fabrication and vehicle makers at Hol-Mac, and West Jasper Consolidated Schools. Very few people work from home, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Teock Creek, a river, is a short drive away, and is the closest of the outdoor places nearby. A longer drive brings you to Bienville National Forest, a large protected area for walking and time among the pines, and to Roosevelt State Park. The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art is also a longer drive away for a quieter day indoors.

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