What it’s like
The place. Vicksburg is a river city in Warren County, on the Mississippi, and more homes here are lived in by their owners than by renters. Incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is typical for the country, while typical home values are modest. Winters are mild and short, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with restaurants, hotels and entertainment, professional and business services, and shops close behind. The largest workplaces in Vicksburg include the Vicksburg Warren School District, the casino and hotel run by Penn Entertainment, and Walmart. Unemployment is lower than it was a year ago, though Warren County has fewer jobs than the year before. Commutes are short, and almost nobody works from home.
Things to do. Vicksburg National Military Park, an archaeological site in or beside town, is the best known place to visit, and the Old Courthouse Museum and the Lower Mississippi River Museum are also in or beside town. The USS Cairo, another museum, is a short drive away.

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