What it’s like
The place. Louise is a very small town in Humphreys County, in the Mississippi Delta. Across the county, household incomes are low, and homes in Louise are priced well below what many buyers elsewhere would expect. It is a quiet place where neighbors are likely to know one another.
Work. Residents of Louise work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. The Humphreys County School District is the largest workplace across the county. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for wildlife, is a short drive away. Farther out, a longer drive brings you to Delta National Forest, a large protected woodland, and Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, another protected area. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn can be pleasant seasons for time outdoors.
