What it’s like
The place. Moss Point is a small city on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, with the Escatawpa River running in or beside town. Residents are somewhat older than the typical American, and most homes are lived in by their owners, though incomes run well below the county's and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and summers hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. The Moss Point Separate School District, the menhaden fishing operation Ocean Harvesters and the nursing facility Diversicare of Moss Point are among the largest workplaces in town. Commutes are short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Escatawpa River is in or beside town, and Shepard State Park, a protected area, and Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge are both a short drive away. Old Spanish Fort, a museum, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Bellingrath Gardens and Home is a botanical garden a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Moss Point’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 Jackson County and the Gulfport-Biloxi, MS metro.
