Historical County Flows, 1800–2025
Every Mississippi county across each decennial census from 1800 through the U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 estimate. Toggle between absolute population, each county’s share of the statewide total, and the decade each county peaked — then press play to watch the population shift toward Jackson’s suburbs, the Gulf Coast, and DeSoto County near Memphis.
