What it’s like
The place. Minter City is a small community in Leflore County, in the Mississippi Delta, where flat farmland and river lowlands stretch across the landscape. Winters are cool and summers are hot, snow is rare, and rain falls heavily through the year. Across Leflore County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and a large share of residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Leflore County, jobs fell over the past year, although unemployment has eased. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and few people work from home, so most head out to a workplace each day.
Things to do. The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument, a protected area, is a short drive away and commemorates a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement. Tippo Bayou, a river, is also a short drive away. The B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, a museum a longer drive away, celebrates the blues and the music of the Delta.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Leflore County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Leflore County and the Greenwood, MS metro.
