What it’s like
The place. McComb is a small city in Pike County, in southwest Mississippi. Household incomes here run below the county's, and a larger share of people live below the poverty line than is typical for the country. More homes are rented than lived in by their owners, so renting is common, and typical home values sit well under what many older buyers from elsewhere might expect. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many people. Among the largest workplaces in McComb are Southwest MS Regional MED Center, the Mccomb School District and Walmart. Unemployment in Pike County is lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year. Few people work from home, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than across much of the country.
Things to do. Percy Quin State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is the Minnehaha River. Okhissa Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive away. These suit anyone who likes time outdoors, whether walking, fishing or simply being near the water.

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