What it’s like
The place. Millry is a very small town in Washington County, Alabama, in the southwest part of the state. Home values here are modest, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Washington County, some of the largest workplaces are AM Calvert, Outokumpu Stainless USA and Washington County Schools. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is holding steady from a year ago.
Things to do. Most of what draws people outdoors lies a longer drive away. Bladon Springs State Park and Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge are protected areas for walking and watching wildlife. Sea Warrior Creek is a river nearby for anyone who likes time on the water. Commutes here tend to be fairly long, so a trip to any of these fits into the usual rhythm of getting around.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Millry’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 Washington County and the Mobile, AL metro.
