What it’s like
The place. Mooreville is a very small community in Lee County, Mississippi, with a population far younger than most of the country. Homes here are valued below what is typical for many parts of the nation. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, while summers turn hot, and rain falls through the year in good measure.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and professional and business services also common. Across Lee County, some of the largest workplaces are North Mississippi Medical Center, the Tupelo Public School District and Ashley Furniture Industries in Saltillo. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Elvis Presley Birthplace is a museum tied to one of the best known musicians in American history. The Natchez Trace Parkway, a protected area also a short drive off, offers a long, quiet road for an afternoon outing. For a look at the region's past, Tupelo National Battlefield is an archaeological site nearby, and Tupelo Automobile Museum is another museum close by.

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