What it’s like
The place. Stonewall is a small town in Clarke County, Mississippi, with a population small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. Homes here cost far less than the typical American home, and incomes across Clarke County sit below the state and national picture. A noticeable portion of residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also providing steady jobs. Across Clarke County, some of the largest workplaces are Quitman School District, Dart Container of Mississippi and Howard Industries in Quitman. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Clarkco State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as are Chunky River and Chicwillasaw Creek for time by the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Meridian Museum of Art and the Riley Center, a theatre. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn suit time outdoors.

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