Perry County is located in south-central Mississippi, part of the state’s Pine Belt region and roughly between Hattiesburg and the Alabama line. Created in 1820 and named for naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry, the county developed around timber resources and small agricultural communities. Perry County is small in population, with fewer than 15,000 residents, and remains largely rural, characterized by low-density settlement and extensive forest cover. The economy has historically centered on forestry, wood products, and related industries, alongside smaller-scale farming and local services. Its landscape includes pine forests, creeks, and gently rolling terrain typical of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Cultural life reflects long-standing ties to the broader Pine Belt, with community institutions and traditions rooted in rural South Mississippi. The county seat is New Augusta, which serves as the primary center for local government and civic services.

Perry County is located in south-central Mississippi, within the Pine Belt region, with the county seat in New Augusta. For local government and planning resources, visit the Perry County official website.

Population Size

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts profile for Perry County, Mississippi, county-level population counts and related demographic indicators are published there, including decennial census totals and the most recent available estimates from the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program.

Age & Gender

The U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts profile for Perry County provides county-level age structure indicators (including median age and age-group shares) and sex composition (percent female and percent male). These figures are derived from Census Bureau programs such as the American Community Survey (ACS) for multi-year averages and are presented directly on the QuickFacts page.

Racial & Ethnic Composition

County-level race categories and Hispanic/Latino ethnicity shares are reported by the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts profile for Perry County. QuickFacts presents standard Census race groupings (e.g., White, Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, and “Two or More Races”), along with Hispanic or Latino (of any race), consistent with Census Bureau definitions.

Household Data

The U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts profile for Perry County includes household and family metrics commonly used in local demographic profiles, such as the number of households, average household size, and owner-occupied housing rate (where available for the county in the current QuickFacts release).

Housing Data

Housing indicators for Perry County—such as total housing units, homeownership rate, and selected housing characteristics—are published on the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts profile for Perry County. QuickFacts consolidates these data from decennial census counts and ACS multi-year estimates, depending on the specific metric shown.

Notes on Data Availability

A single, authoritative county demographic profile with exact values for all requested items (population size, detailed age distribution, gender ratio, race/ethnicity, and household/housing) is not fully reproducible here without directly transcribing figures from the Census Bureau tables. The most current county-level values are provided by the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts page for Perry County and supporting Census datasets accessible from data.census.gov.

Email Usage

Perry County, Mississippi is a largely rural county with low population density, conditions that commonly reduce private broadband buildout and increase reliance on mobile service or public access points for digital communication such as email.

Direct county-level email usage statistics are not routinely published; email access is therefore summarized using proxy indicators from the U.S. Census Bureau’s data portal, especially American Community Survey measures of household internet subscriptions and computer availability.

Digital access indicators show email reach is constrained by the share of households without a broadband subscription and/or without a desktop or laptop computer (key barriers to account creation, password recovery, and sustained use). Age structure also influences adoption: a higher share of older residents is typically associated with lower use of email and other online services, while working-age residents are more likely to maintain email for employment, school, and government services. County gender composition is generally not a primary driver of email adoption compared with age and connectivity, though it can correlate indirectly through labor-force and caregiving patterns.

Connectivity limitations in rural Mississippi often include last‑mile infrastructure gaps and slower/less reliable service; county context is documented through the Perry County government and federal broadband reporting such as the FCC National Broadband Map.

Mobile Phone Usage

County context (location, settlement pattern, and physical geography)

Perry County is in south-central Mississippi, between the Gulf Coast and the Jackson metropolitan area. The county seat is New Augusta, and the county is predominantly rural with extensive forest cover and low population density. These characteristics—widely spaced households, significant tree canopy, and long distances between population centers—tend to increase the cost of building and maintaining cellular infrastructure and can reduce signal quality, especially for mid-band and high-band (5G) frequencies that have shorter propagation ranges. Baseline county geography and population characteristics are documented through the U.S. Census Bureau’s county profiles and geography resources (see Census.gov (data.census.gov) and U.S. Census Gazetteer files).

Key distinction: network availability vs. household adoption

Network availability describes where carriers report service (coverage) and what technologies are technically reachable (e.g., LTE/4G, 5G). Household adoption describes whether residents actually subscribe to mobile service, own smartphones, and use mobile broadband as their primary internet connection. Availability and adoption frequently diverge in rural counties due to affordability constraints, device costs, signal reliability, and limited backhaul capacity.

Mobile penetration and access indicators (adoption measures)

County-specific “mobile penetration” is not typically published as a single metric. The most consistent county-level adoption indicators come from U.S. Census Bureau survey products that report:

  • Cellular data plan status (presence of a cellular data plan in the household)
  • Smartphone ownership (smartphone in the household)
  • Internet subscription type (including cellular data plans used for home internet access)

These indicators are available at county geography in many tables via Census.gov, primarily from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. Relevant ACS subject areas include “Computer and Internet Use” tables (often referenced through ACS Detailed Tables and Subject Tables). These data describe adoption (what households report having), not whether a carrier advertises coverage at a given location.

Limitations (county level):

  • ACS estimates are survey-based and include margins of error, which can be larger in small-population counties.
  • ACS does not directly measure “mobile signal quality,” “dropped calls,” or speed; it measures reported access/subscriptions and device presence.

Mobile internet usage patterns and connectivity (availability measures)

4G/LTE availability (reported coverage)

4G/LTE is generally the foundational mobile broadband layer in rural Mississippi counties and is the most widely reported technology in carrier coverage datasets. The primary public source for reported mobile broadband availability is the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection (BDC), which provides map-based and downloadable coverage by technology.

  • FCC availability and coverage reporting: FCC National Broadband Map
    This tool allows filtering by location and technology and distinguishes between mobile and fixed broadband.

What the FCC map represents:

  • Carrier-reported coverage polygons and/or location-based availability claims under FCC rules.
  • It reflects availability claims, not guaranteed indoor coverage or typical speeds at a specific address.

5G availability (reported coverage, typically uneven in rural areas)

5G availability in rural counties is often fragmented. Coverage may exist along highways or in/near population centers, with limited reach in heavily forested areas or low-density stretches. The FCC map provides 5G availability layers, but:

  • 5G can include low-band deployments that resemble LTE in range and speed improvements, and mid-band deployments that can provide higher capacity but with smaller coverage footprints.
  • County-level summaries of “percent covered by 5G” can be derived from FCC data, but the map itself is the authoritative public interface for reported availability at specific locations.

Relevant source:

Typical rural performance considerations (non-adoption factors)

Without asserting county-specific speeds, common performance constraints in rural, forested counties include:

  • Indoor attenuation from building materials and tree canopy
  • Cell-edge conditions due to long distances to towers
  • Backhaul limitations (especially where fiber middle-mile is sparse)

These factors affect experienced quality even where the FCC map shows availability.

Common device types (smartphones vs. other devices)

County-level device-type breakdowns are most consistently available from ACS “Computer and Internet Use” measures. These can identify households with:

  • Smartphones
  • Desktop or laptop computers
  • Tablets or other devices
  • Cellular data plan (used as internet subscription)

Primary source for device and subscription type at county geography:

Interpretation guidance:

  • Smartphone presence indicates device availability, not necessarily consistent mobile broadband usage.
  • A “cellular data plan” subscription can indicate households using mobile service for internet access, including “mobile-only” households that lack wired broadband.

Limitations:

  • Public ACS tables do not identify handset models, OS share (Android vs iOS), or carrier market share at the county level.
  • Device-type data is household-reported and may not capture multiple devices per person with high precision.

Demographic and geographic factors influencing mobile usage in Perry County

Rural settlement and low density

Low density increases per-subscriber infrastructure costs and tends to reduce the number of tower sites relative to land area, which can widen coverage gaps and increase reliance on lower-frequency spectrum for broad coverage. This affects availability and quality, not only adoption.

Reference context sources:

  • County demographic and housing patterns: Census.gov

Forest cover and terrain effects

South Mississippi’s extensive pine forests and mixed terrain can degrade signal penetration and increase variability in service quality over short distances. This mainly affects:

  • Indoor coverage reliability
  • Cell-edge throughput
  • Consistency of 5G (where higher-frequency layers are used)

Income, affordability, and substitution patterns (adoption-side)

Across rural areas, household adoption of mobile broadband and smartphones is influenced by:

  • Income and poverty rates (affecting subscription continuity and device replacement)
  • Age structure (older populations tend to show lower smartphone and mobile broadband adoption)
  • Availability and pricing of fixed broadband (which can drive “mobile-only” internet reliance)

County-level socioeconomic indicators for these correlations are available via:

Limitation: The county-level public data supports correlation analysis (e.g., comparing areas with lower income to lower subscription rates) but does not attribute causation for an individual household’s mobile adoption.

Public datasets that support county-specific reporting (availability vs adoption)

Data availability limitations specific to Perry County

  • Carrier-grade metrics (median speeds, latency distributions, indoor/outdoor splits) are not consistently published in a way that is directly attributable to Perry County using official federal statistical products.
  • County-level carrier market share, smartphone model mix, and detailed usage (e.g., streaming share over mobile vs Wi‑Fi) are generally proprietary or only available through commercial panels rather than public administrative datasets.
  • FCC availability data reflects reported coverage and does not equal guaranteed service at every point within a coverage polygon, particularly in heavily wooded or sparsely populated areas.

Social Media Trends

Perry County is a small, largely rural county in south Mississippi with New Augusta as the county seat, located within the broader Pine Belt region (near larger regional hubs such as Hattiesburg in neighboring Forrest County). The county’s dispersed settlement patterns, lower population density, and commuting ties to regional service centers tend to make mobile access and Facebook-centric community information sharing more prominent than platform uses that rely heavily on dense in-person social networks.

User statistics (penetration / active use)

  • County-specific social media penetration: No major public dataset provides direct, survey-based social media penetration estimates at the county level for Perry County, Mississippi. Most reliable sources report usage at the U.S. national level (and sometimes state/metro level), not at Perry County resolution.
  • Best available benchmark (U.S. adults):
  • Local context shaping “active use”: In rural counties, social media activity often concentrates on platforms used for local information exchange (community announcements, school/sports updates, buy/sell groups), aligning with patterns described in national rural-digital-life research such as Pew Research Center reporting on rural internet and smartphone use.

Age group trends (who uses social media most)

National patterns consistently show higher usage among younger adults:

  • 18–29: highest overall social media use (near-universal in many platform measures), per Pew Research Center.
  • 30–49: high usage, typically slightly below 18–29.
  • 50–64: majority use, but meaningfully lower than under-50 groups.
  • 65+: lowest use, though still substantial and rising over time. Implication for Perry County: With a rural age structure and community institutions (churches, schools, county services) that often rely on widely adopted platforms, older adults are more likely to concentrate on a smaller number of networks (especially Facebook) compared with younger adults who distribute attention across multiple apps.

Gender breakdown

  • Nationally, gender differences vary by platform but are often modest overall; some platforms show clearer skews:
    • Pinterest tends to skew more female.
    • Some discussion/news-forward platforms tend to skew more male. These patterns are summarized in platform-by-platform breakdowns in the Pew Research Center social media fact sheet. County-level note: Reliable county-specific gender splits for social media use are not typically published; national platform skews are the most defensible proxy.

Most-used platforms (percentages where available)

Pew reports the share of U.S. adults who say they use each platform (benchmarks frequently used for local planning when county estimates are unavailable). From the Pew Research Center social media fact sheet:

  • YouTube: 83%
  • Facebook: 68%
  • Instagram: 47%
  • Pinterest: 35%
  • TikTok: 33%
  • LinkedIn: 30%
  • WhatsApp: 29%
  • Snapchat: 27%
  • X (formerly Twitter): 22%

Expected platform mix in a rural county context: Facebook and YouTube typically function as the broadest-reach platforms; Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat usage tends to be more age-concentrated among younger residents.

Behavioral trends (engagement patterns / preferences)

  • Community-information use (Facebook): Rural areas frequently use Facebook for hyperlocal communication (school closures, local events, civic updates), with engagement driven by groups, shares, and comment threads rather than public-facing influencer-style posting.
  • Video-first consumption (YouTube, TikTok): Nationally high YouTube reach suggests video is a primary format for information and entertainment; TikTok use is substantial and more youth-skewed (Pew platform usage benchmarks: Pew Research Center).
  • Messaging and lightweight interaction: Platform use often includes a strong messaging component (Messenger/WhatsApp-style behaviors), reflecting the broader national trend toward private or semi-private sharing rather than only public posting (documented across Pew internet and social findings, including the Pew Research Center fact sheet).
  • Access considerations: Rural connectivity constraints and higher reliance on smartphones can tilt engagement toward mobile-friendly formats (short video, compressed images, quick reactions) and away from bandwidth-heavy live streaming in some settings, consistent with rural connectivity patterns summarized by Pew Research Center rural internet research.

Family & Associates Records

Perry County family and associate-related public records primarily include vital records and court filings. Mississippi birth and death certificates are maintained at the state level by the Mississippi State Department of Health, Vital Records; certified copies are requested through the state office rather than the county (MSDH Vital Records). Marriage records are typically recorded locally through the circuit clerk’s office as part of county land and court recordkeeping (Perry County Circuit Clerk). Divorce, custody, guardianship, and related family court matters are filed in the county courts and managed by the clerk as court records (Perry County, Mississippi (official site)). Adoption records in Mississippi are generally sealed and handled through the courts, with access restricted by law and court order processes rather than routine public inspection.

Public online databases for Perry County vary by office; statewide vital records ordering is available through MSDH, while county-level indexes and images may require in-person requests or office-provided search procedures.

Access commonly occurs (1) online through state vital records ordering and any county-provided record portals or instructions, and (2) in-person or by mail through the Perry County Circuit Clerk for recorded and court documents. Privacy restrictions commonly apply to sealed court matters (notably adoptions) and to certified vital records, which are generally limited to eligible requesters under Mississippi rules.

Marriage & Divorce Records

Types of records available

  • Marriage licenses and marriage records

    • Marriage licenses are issued at the county level and form the core county marriage record.
    • County marriage files commonly include the license application, the license issued, and a return/certificate showing the marriage was solemnized and recorded.

  • Divorce records (decrees and case files)

    • Divorces are handled as civil court actions. The final divorce decree/judgment is part of the court record.
    • Divorce case files may also include pleadings (complaint, answer), property/child-related orders, and other filings, depending on the case.

  • Annulments

    • Annulments are court proceedings and are maintained as civil case records in the same court system that hears domestic relations matters. The resulting judgment/order becomes part of the case record.

Where records are filed and how they can be accessed

  • Marriage records (Perry County)

    • Filed/maintained by: Perry County Chancery Clerk (marriage license issuance and recording are handled through the Chancery Clerk’s office in Mississippi counties).
    • Access methods: In-person requests at the Chancery Clerk’s office; certified copies are typically issued by the clerk. Some counties provide indexes or searchable systems, but availability varies by office practices and digitization.

  • Divorce and annulment records (Perry County)

    • Filed/maintained by: Perry County Chancery Court, with the Chancery Clerk serving as clerk of the court and record custodian for chancery case files, including divorces and annulments.
    • Access methods: Court records are generally accessed through the Chancery Clerk’s records/case files in person. Copies (including certified copies of decrees) are obtained from the clerk, subject to any sealing or statutory confidentiality.

  • State-level vital records copies

    • Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Vital Records maintains state-level vital records and provides certified copies for eligible records.
    • Marriage: MSDH provides marriage record services for Mississippi marriages.
    • Divorce: MSDH maintains and issues certified copies of divorce records for divorces granted in Mississippi for a defined period maintained by the state vital records program.
    • Official information and ordering: MSDH Vital Records.

Typical information included in these records

  • Marriage license / marriage record (county record)

    • Full names of the parties
    • Date and place (county) of license issuance
    • Date and place of marriage/ceremony as returned by the officiant
    • Name and title/authority of officiant
    • Sometimes: ages or dates of birth, residences, and other identifying details recorded on the application (content varies by form version and time period)

  • Divorce decree/judgment (court record)

    • Names of parties and case/court identifiers (court, cause/case number)
    • Date of judgment and the court’s disposition (grant of divorce/relief)
    • Terms of the decree as applicable (property division, debt allocation, alimony)
    • Child-related provisions when applicable (custody, visitation, support)
    • Any name changes granted as part of the judgment when applicable

  • Annulment order/judgment (court record)

    • Names of parties and case/court identifiers
    • Findings and legal basis for annulment as reflected in the judgment
    • Orders addressing related issues (property, support, custody) when applicable

Privacy or legal restrictions

  • General public access vs. restricted content

    • Marriage records held by the county clerk are commonly treated as public records, though access to certified copies is administered by the custodian office under state procedures.
    • Divorce and annulment case files are court records; access is generally public unless a case or particular documents are sealed by court order or made confidential by law.

  • Confidential information protections

    • Certain sensitive information contained within filings (for example, Social Security numbers or minor children’s identifying information) is subject to privacy protections through redaction requirements and court record policies.
    • Records involving minors, abuse-related proceedings, or other sensitive matters may have additional restrictions or sealed components depending on the court’s orders and applicable Mississippi law.

  • Certified copies and identification

    • Certified copies of vital records from MSDH are issued under eligibility rules and identity verification requirements set by the state vital records program.

Education, Employment and Housing

Perry County is in south-central Mississippi, part of the Pine Belt region, with a largely rural settlement pattern centered on New Augusta (the county seat) and small unincorporated communities. The county has a relatively low population density, a higher share of families connected to forestry, manufacturing, and public-sector services than large-metro Mississippi counties, and a housing stock dominated by single-family homes on larger lots.

Education Indicators

Public schools (count and names)

Public K–12 education is provided primarily by Perry County School District. A current, authoritative school roster is maintained by the district and state directories rather than consistently in federal datasets. The most reliable place for the current list of schools and names is the district site and state directory listings:

(Note: Because school openings/closures and grade configurations can change, enumerating school names from non-official secondary sources can be inaccurate. District and MDE directories are the most current references.)

Student–teacher ratios and graduation rates

  • Student–teacher ratio: Reported ratios vary slightly by source and year (state report cards vs. federal school-level reporting). The most recent district/school-level ratios are published in Mississippi’s school report cards and the federal CCD/EDGE school profiles. Primary references:
  • Graduation rate: Mississippi publishes 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rates in its annual report cards. The district’s most recent graduation rate is reported in:

(Proxy note: In rural Mississippi counties, district-level student–teacher ratios are often in the mid-teens, and graduation rates commonly cluster around the statewide range. The definitive current values for Perry County are those on the MDE report card.)

Adult educational attainment (countywide)

Countywide adult educational attainment is best captured by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates:

  • High school diploma or higher (age 25+): Perry County is below the U.S. average and generally around the Mississippi rural-county range per ACS.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher (age 25+): Perry County is well below the U.S. average and typically in the low double-digits (ACS 5-year).

The most recent county estimates are available through:

Notable academic/vocational programs

Program availability is published at the district/school level rather than consistently aggregated in federal datasets. In Mississippi, rural districts commonly offer:

  • Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways aligned with state frameworks (often including construction, manufacturing-related skills, business/IT basics, agriculture/forestry-adjacent content, and health science fundamentals where staffing supports it).
  • Dual enrollment/dual credit opportunities through regional community colleges (availability varies by year and staffing agreements).
  • Advanced coursework (Advanced Placement offerings may be limited in smaller districts; some districts rely on online/virtual courses for advanced subjects).

Authoritative program references:

School safety measures and counseling resources

Mississippi public schools operate under state and district safety policies that generally include controlled campus access, visitor procedures, emergency drills, and coordination with local law enforcement. District staffing plans typically include school counselors (and, where funded, social work/psychological services) with service levels that vary by school size.

Public-facing, district-specific safety/counseling information is typically found in:

(Data limitation: Comparable, countywide “counts” of counselors or specific security infrastructure are not consistently published as a single metric across all schools; the most reliable details are in district policy/handbook documents and school report cards.)

Employment and Economic Conditions

Unemployment rate (most recent year available)

  • The official local unemployment rate is published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS). Perry County’s rate fluctuates year-to-year and is typically higher than the U.S. average and often near the Mississippi non-metro range.
  • The most recent annual and monthly figures are available here: BLS LAUS (county unemployment).

(Proxy note: Small counties can show greater month-to-month volatility; annual averages are the most stable for comparison.)

Major industries and employment sectors

Perry County’s employment base is typical of the rural Pine Belt, with concentration in:

  • Manufacturing (often wood products/processing and related supply chains in the broader region)
  • Forestry, logging, and agriculture-adjacent activities
  • Educational services and public administration (schools and county/local government)
  • Retail trade and health care/social assistance (local-serving jobs)

County industry composition is published in ACS “industry by occupation/employment” tables:

Common occupations and workforce breakdown

Occupational patterns commonly include:

  • Production and transportation/material moving (manufacturing and logistics-linked jobs)
  • Service occupations (healthcare support, food service, maintenance)
  • Office/administrative support
  • Construction and extraction (including trades serving rural housing and timber-related activity)
  • Management/professional roles at a smaller share than large metros

The most current county distributions are available in:

Commuting patterns and mean commute time

  • Perry County commuting is shaped by rural geography and job centers in nearby Pine Belt counties (notably the Hattiesburg area in Forrest/Lamar counties) and other regional hubs.
  • Mean travel time to work for the county is published by ACS and typically falls within the mid-to-high 20-minute range for many rural Mississippi counties, with a high share of drive-alone commuting.

Definitive county metrics (mean commute time, mode share, and work location) are available in:

Local employment vs. out-of-county work

  • Rural counties in the Pine Belt commonly have a substantial share of residents working outside the county due to limited local job density and specialized employment in nearby urbanized areas.
  • The ACS provides the county share of workers who live and work in the same county versus those commuting out:

(Data limitation: Detailed origin-destination commuting flows at high precision are better captured via Census LEHD/OnTheMap tools, which are not always updated uniformly for all geographies and can differ from ACS.)

Housing and Real Estate

Homeownership rate and rental share

  • Perry County is predominantly owner-occupied, consistent with rural Mississippi counties, with a higher homeownership rate than the U.S. average and a smaller rental market.
  • The definitive owner-occupied vs. renter-occupied shares are in ACS housing tenure tables:

Median property values and recent trends

  • Median value of owner-occupied housing units (ACS) in Perry County is typically well below the U.S. median, reflecting rural land-and-home pricing and a generally older housing stock.
  • Recent trends in values are best interpreted using multi-year ACS comparisons; short-term market shifts may not be fully captured due to sampling margins in small counties.

Definitive median value series:

(Proxy note: In many rural South Mississippi counties, median values have risen since 2020 alongside regional and national price growth, but absolute levels remain comparatively moderate.)

Typical rent prices

  • Median gross rent (ACS) for Perry County is generally below the U.S. median, reflecting limited apartment stock and lower overall housing costs.
  • County median gross rent is available at:

Types of housing

The housing stock is characterized by:

  • Single-family detached homes as the dominant unit type
  • Manufactured housing (mobile homes) as a significant share in rural areas
  • A limited number of small multifamily properties (apartments/duplexes) concentrated near New Augusta and along key corridors
  • Rural lots and acreage properties are common, often with longer travel times to services

These distributions are available through ACS “Units in Structure” tables:

Neighborhood characteristics (access to schools/amenities)

  • Residential patterns are dispersed, with the highest concentration of public services (schools, county offices, small retail, and community facilities) around New Augusta and along primary roadways.
  • Many households are located in unincorporated areas with greater dependence on driving for groceries, health care, and employment, and school travel often involves longer bus routes typical of rural districts.

(Data limitation: “Neighborhood” metrics in the urban sense are not consistently defined in rural counties; accessibility is better described by proximity to New Augusta and major state highways rather than dense neighborhood centers.)

Property tax overview (rate and typical homeowner cost)

  • Mississippi property taxes are assessed based on assessed value (a fraction of market value) and local millage rates, which vary by taxing district (county, school district, municipality where applicable).
  • A countywide “average tax bill” is not a single fixed number because it depends on exemptions (including homestead), location, and assessed value. The most authoritative sources are:
    • The Mississippi Department of Revenue (property tax administration overview and assessment rules).
    • The Perry County tax assessor/collector public pages (typically hosted through county government sites) for local millage and billing practices.

(Proxy note: In rural Mississippi counties, effective property tax burdens are generally low to moderate compared with national averages, but the definitive homeowner cost depends on assessed value, homestead status, and the applicable millage.)
