What it’s like
The place. Plantersville is a very small Mississippi town in Lee County, home to fewer people than most places that carry the name of a town. Homes here cost less than the typical American home, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole. Winters are mild and short, with little or no snow, and summers turn hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many people. Across Lee County, the largest workplaces include North Mississippi Medical Center, the Tupelo Public School District and Ashley Furniture Industries in Saltillo. Household incomes across the county are modest, and the county has recently lost a few jobs, though unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Several places lie a short drive away. The Elvis Presley Birthplace is a museum, the Natchez Trace Parkway is a protected area suited to a slow drive, and Tombigbee State Park offers woods and water. For a longer outing, Brice's Cross Roads National Battlefield Site is a historic battlefield 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 Plantersville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Lee County and the Tupelo, MS metro.
