What it’s like
The place. Vossburg is in Clarke County, Mississippi, where residents are older on average than across most of the country and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are mild, summers are long and hot, and rain and melted snow fall through much of the year. Across the county, home values sit below those in most of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in shops. Across Clarke County, unemployment is lower than a year earlier, though the number of jobs fell over the past year. Few people work from home, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole.
Things to do. Castaffa Creek runs in or beside the town, so it is the closest place to spend an afternoon. Clarkco State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away. The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, also a longer drive away, is a museum with a collection of art.

Natural hazards

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Clarke County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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.
