What it’s like
The place. Pachuta is a very small town in Jasper County, Mississippi, where people are likely to know one another by name. Homes here are modestly priced, and household incomes across Jasper County run lower than in much of the country. Winters are mild, with cold spells that stay fairly gentle, and summers are hot.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades and in shops. Across Jasper County, some of the largest workplaces are Peco Foods' poultry processing plant in Bay Springs, the metal fabrication and vehicle maker Hol-Mac, and West Jasper Consolidated Schools. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Chicwillasaw Creek runs in or beside town, and Castaffa Creek and Archusa Creek are each a short drive away for time near the water. For a longer outing, Clarkco State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art is a museum that is also 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 Pachuta’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 Jasper County and the Laurel, MS metro.
