What it’s like
The place. Sidon is a very small town in Leflore County, in the Mississippi Delta, where neighbors are likely to know one another by name. Incomes across the county run low, and homes here are priced modestly, which makes the area one of the more affordable places to own a house.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Leflore County, the largest workplaces include Mississippi Valley State University, Greenwood Leflore Hospital and Milwaukee Tool. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Florewood State Park and Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge are both a short drive away, offering protected land for walking and watching wildlife, and Abiaca Creek is also close by. Farther afield, the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center is a longer drive and tells the story of the Delta's music and history. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and rain falls plentifully through the year.

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