What it’s like
The place. Rosedale is a small city in Bolivar County, in the Mississippi Delta. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and homes are valued modestly. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and short, with almost no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels. Across Bolivar County, some of the largest workplaces are Delta State University, Baxter Healthcare and Bolivar Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Great River Road State Park is a protected area in or beside town, and Lake Beulah is a lake a short drive away. Farther afield, Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area, and the Grammy Museum Mississippi is a museum, both 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 Rosedale’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Bolivar County and the Cleveland, MS metro.
