What it’s like
The place. State Line is a very small town in Greene County, Mississippi, with a population that fits on a handful of streets and country roads. Homes here are modestly priced, and household incomes across the county run below those of the state as a whole. Few adults in town hold a four-year degree, and most people make their living through practical, hands-on work.
Work. Residents work mostly in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in shops. Across Greene County, some of the largest workplaces are the Greene County School District, Greene County Hospital and Houchens Food Group. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Buckatunna Creek, a river, is a short drive away and suits anyone who likes time by the water. Bladon Springs State Park, a protected area, and Sea Warrior Creek, another river, are both a longer drive away. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, and summers are hot, so the outdoors is comfortable for much of the year.

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