What it’s like
The place. Mantachie is a small town in Itawamba County, small enough that most people know one another. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home is worth less than in much of the country. Incomes across the county run on the modest side, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than in many places. Winters are cool and rarely bring snow, while summers turn hot, and rain and melted snow fall generously through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Itawamba County, some of the largest workplaces are Itawamba Community College, Mueller Copper Tube Company and the Itawamba County School District. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. The typical commute is a moderate drive, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Itawamba, a reservoir, and Tombigbee State Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away and suit a day on the water or a walk outdoors. Farther afield, the Elvis Presley Birthplace museum is a longer drive away, as is the Natchez Trace Parkway, a protected area with a long scenic route.

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