What it’s like
The place. Pittsboro is a very small village in Calhoun County, Mississippi, the kind of place where neighbors tend to know one another. Homes here are modestly priced for the region, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers run hot, and the year is a wet one, with plenty of rain.
Work. Many people in the village work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops, with some working in farming, forestry and mining. Across Calhoun County, the largest workplaces include the county school district, Weyerhaeuser and Haworth Bruce. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor places are all a longer drive away. The Big Black River is the best known of them, and Grenada Lake is a large reservoir, with Hugh White State Park among the protected areas in the region. Anyone interested in the area's long history can visit Bynum Mound and Village Site, an archaeological site, 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 Pittsboro’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 Calhoun County.
