What it’s like
The place. Puckett is a village in Rankin County, Mississippi, and a very small one, with far fewer residents than most towns. Household incomes here run below the county's, and the typical home is valued modestly for the state. Winters are mild and short, with cool days and nights that stay above freezing in January, while summers are hot, with July among the hottest times of year. Snow is rare, and rain falls in generous amounts through the year.
Work. Residents are most often employed in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Across Rankin County, the largest workplaces include the Rankin County school district, St. Dominic-Jackson Memorial Hospital and Ergon. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the number of jobs there has edged up slightly.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Bienville National Forest is the best known nearby protected area, and Roosevelt State Park and the Ross Barnett Reservoir are also within reach. Each is a longer drive away. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum is a longer drive too, for a day spent indoors.
