What it’s like
The place. Tutwiler is a small town in Tallahatchie County, in the flat farmland of the Mississippi Delta. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and incomes across the county run low, though a modest share of people live below the poverty line. Homes are inexpensive compared with much of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and farming also employing many. Across Tallahatchie County, the largest workplaces include Tallahatchie Critical Access Hospital and the East Tallahatchie and West Tallahatchie school districts. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has grown a little. The typical commute is a long one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Delta Blues Museum is one of the best known places nearby, and the Grammy Museum Mississippi also celebrates the region's music; both are a longer drive away. The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument, a protected area, is likewise a longer drive away. For time outdoors, Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge is another protected area a longer drive away. Winters are cool and summers hot, with plenty of rain through the year.

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