What it’s like
The place. Potts Camp is a very small town in Marshall County, Mississippi, with far fewer people than most towns of any kind. Homes here cost less than the typical American home, and household incomes across the county sit below the national middle. Winters are mild and short, with snow a rare event, while summers run hot and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with transport, warehouses and utilities, manufacturing and shops also employing many. Across Marshall County, some of the largest workplaces are Amazon, Volvo Group Truck Operations and the Marshall County school district. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has grown. Few adults in town hold a four-year degree, and the daily drive to work is a long one.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Wall Doxey State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Chilli Creek, a river, is close by as well. Farther afield, Holly Springs National Forest is a protected area a longer drive away. Graceland Too, a museum, 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 Potts Camp’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 Marshall County and the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro.
