What it’s like
The place. New Hebron is a very small town in Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi, where neighbors tend to know one another. Homes here are priced well below what is typical for the country, and incomes across the county run below the state's and the nation's. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, while summers are long and hot, and the rainfall through the year is heavy.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and transport and warehousing also employing many. Across Jefferson Davis County, the largest workplaces include the school district and Jefferson Davis General Hospital. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has gained a good many jobs over the past year, while very few residents work from home.
Things to do. Bahala Creek, a river, is a short drive away, and makes a handy spot for time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Chautauqua Lake, a reservoir, and Lake Lincoln State Park, a protected area. Collins Zoo is also a longer drive away.
