What it’s like
The place. Silver City is a very small town in Humphreys County, in the Mississippi Delta, where homes are modestly priced and household incomes across the county run low. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, while summers turn hot, and rain falls plentifully through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Humphreys County, the largest employer is the school district, and the county has been adding jobs even as unemployment has eased from a year ago. Some people work from home.
Things to do. Tchula Lake, a river-fed lake, and the Jaketown Site, an archaeological site, are each a short drive away. A longer drive leads to the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, a museum, and to Delta National Forest, a protected area of woodland.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Silver City’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 Humphreys County.
