What it’s like
The place. Noxapater is a very small Mississippi town, home to far fewer people than most places, in the hills of Winston County. Few adults here hold a four-year degree compared with the country as a whole, and household incomes across the county sit below the national middle. Homes cost well under what is typical across the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels close behind. Across Winston County, the largest workplaces include Taylor Machine Works, which builds cranes and industrial trucks, the Louisville Municipal School District, and Winston Medical Center. Joblessness across the county is lower than a year ago, and there are slightly more jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Nanih Waiya, an archaeological site, is a short drive away, as are Tallahaga Creek and Alampa Creek for time by the water. For a longer outing, Tombigbee National Forest is a protected area a longer drive off. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain, so a day outdoors is easiest in the gentler seasons.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Noxapater’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 Winston County.
