people in mccomb have several neighborhoods to choose from, mostly one race,mixed working class, retirement,upper middle class, all sections are well kept up, laid back and can accommodate all levels of household income, newer named restaurants, hospital, medical specialist, variety of churches,state park nearby,country living if you choose,large mall,the negative is low pay for the available jobs in the city,county area, most working adults with lower middle income 45000-100000 work out of town, for oil field industry in gulf of mexico and beyond. The police are more likely to be helpful and mindful of your rights, just dont drink and drive,county known for setting up road blocks at the most unusual spots and times, taxes are low on homes, the weather is not really extreme, jan feb 20s 30s 40s march april may 40s 50s 60s 70s june july august sept 80s 90s oct nov dec 70s 60s 50s 40s temperatures, concerns can be tornado which you get more warning sirens then actual damage. Hurricane wind forces are greatly decreased by the time they get to this area, but can have the effect of down trees and power lines. Crime is low to moderate, can still leave your keys in your car in most to all neighborhoods, your neighbor will know your name and you will probably know his or hers. Most crime is either drug related or teens with too much time on their hands and not really anywhere to hangout like a amusement park of sorts. County has a dirt race track. Overall you can live a middle class life with a much lower cost of living, friendly people, some a little more nosier then others, distance from major ciies of jackson ms, hattiesburg ms, natchez ms, new orleans la, most just a 1 1/2 to 2 hours away. Overall i would rate this city a place where you can live in your home the way you want free of being bothered by outside influences.
By the way most everyone owns a gun or two, for the hunting season they have each year.
