Walls is a very small town located in the state of Mississippi. With a population of 1,412 people and two associated neighborhoods, Walls is the 157th largest community in Mississippi. Walls has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Walls, where the median household income is $58,920.00.
Also of interest is that Walls has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 13.14% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Walls has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Walls a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
One downside of living in Walls, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 35.07 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small town, Walls doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The education level of Walls citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 20.46% of adults 25 and older in Walls have a college degree.
The per capita income in Walls in 2022 was $33,931, which is wealthy relative to Mississippi, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $135,724 for a family of four. However, Walls contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
