What it’s like
The place. Raymond is a small city in Hinds County, and its residents are young, with a median age well below what is typical for most of the country. Household incomes in the town run below the county's, and the typical home is valued at less than in many parts of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. In Raymond itself, the largest workplaces include the Hinds County school district and a grocery store, Roberts Company. Jobs across Hinds County grew only slightly last year, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Several well-known places lie a longer drive away. The Jackson Zoo is a zoo, and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum is a museum. Ross Barnett Reservoir offers a large body of water for time outdoors. Winters are cool and summers hot, with a good deal of rain across the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Raymond’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 Hinds County and the Jackson, MS metro.
