What it’s like
The place. Neely is a small town in Greene County, in the southern part of Mississippi. Because the county's figures are the only ones available for this area, they describe the wider county where the town sits. Most homes in the county are lived in by their owners, and the typical home is valued well below the national figure. Winters are mild compared with the rest of the country, summers are hot, and the area gets far more rain than most of the country, with little or no snow.
Work. Many residents work in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, or in local shops. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home, so most people travel to a job outside the house. Commutes are longer than most of the country's. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs in the county grew last year.
Things to do. Big Oktibee Creek is a river a short drive away, and it is the closest natural spot to the town. Paul B. Johnson State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, is one of the better-known outdoor places in the region. The Mississippi Armed Forces Museum, also a longer drive away, is a museum that covers the state's military history.

Natural hazards
- HurricanesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Greene County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Greene County.
