Webb, MS

Webb, Mississippi is a small town located in the northeast corner of the state. The population was just over 2,000 in 2010 and has been declining since then. Webb is located near the center of what was once a thriving cotton plantation economy. The town's heyday came in the early 1900s when it had several businesses and churches. However, by the 1970s most of these businesses had closed and Webb began to decline. In recent years there has been some redevelopment activity but it is still considered a struggling community.

The main economic activity in Webb today is real estate. There are several subdivisions and single family homes for sale as well as commercial properties such as restaurants and convenience stores. Prices for homes range from around $50,000 to $250,000 with an average price of around $100,000. The median household income in 2010 was just over $30,000 which indicates that there is a lot of poverty in Webb.

One reason that real estate prices are high in Webb is because there are not many other options available for people who want to buy a home. There are only about 10 homes per square mile which means that there is not much competition for properties. Additionally, many people who live in Webb commute to jobs outside of town which means that they do not have much interaction with residents or businesses in town. This makes it difficult for locals to sell their homes and drive up prices on properties
