Buyer Area Research
Area Overview
6240 State Highway 567 is located in Liberty, the county seat area of Amite County in southwest Mississippi. Amite County had an estimated 12,565 residents in the 2024 ACS-based profile, with a rural population spread across the county. Census-based data also reports that 69.5% of households had a broadband Internet subscription during 2020–2024.
The surrounding region is characterized by rural communities, wooded areas, agricultural land, and access to outdoor resources. The Homochitto National Forest extends across several southwest Mississippi counties, including Amite County, while Okhissa Lake provides a nearby recreation destination.
Safety & Crime
Crime statistics should be viewed at the geographic level for which they are reported and should not be interpreted as conditions at the individual property. For 2024, a county-level compilation of FBI-reported data recorded 12 violent-crime offenses and 7 property-crime offenses among reporting agencies headquartered in Amite County. The source notes that one agency reported data for the county and that non-reporting agencies contribute no offenses to the reported count.
City-level crime information for Liberty is also available from secondary crime-data services using 2024 FBI-derived information. These figures represent reported crime within the applicable reporting geography rather than a property-specific measure.
Schools & Education
The property is located within the Amite County School District’s Liberty-area service region. The district maintains schools serving elementary, middle, and high school grades, including Amite County Elementary School, Amite County Middle School, and Amite County High School. The district also operates a career and technical center.
School proximity does not by itself establish attendance assignment for a particular address. Buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries and enrollment requirements directly with the school district.
Healthcare & Hospitals
Local healthcare resources include Amite County Medical Services in Liberty at 102 West Freedom Drive. The community health organization provides primary medical and dental care, along with related outreach and support services.
For additional hospital, emergency, specialty, and retail-pharmacy services, residents can also access healthcare resources in surrounding communities. Liberty Drug Store operates in Liberty at 110 East Main Street.
Housing Market History
Historical housing data below uses the same geography and metric throughout: the median value of owner-occupied housing units in Amite County, based on Census Bureau ACS 5-year estimates. These are historical descriptive values and are not forecasts of future property values.
| ACS Period | Median Home Value | Annual Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $83,600 | — |
| 2020 | $85,200 | +1.9% |
| 2021 | $86,200 | +1.2% |
| 2022 | $91,400 | +6.0% |
| 2023 | $89,800 | -1.8% |
From the 2019 ACS 5-year estimate through the 2023 ACS 5-year estimate, the county’s median owner-occupied home value increased from $83,600 to $89,800, a change of approximately 7.4%. Because these are overlapping five-year estimates, the figures should be read as broad county-level historical indicators rather than year-to-year transaction prices.
More recent Zillow county-level data, updated July 31, 2026, reported an average Amite County home value of $139,764 and a 9.8% one-year decline in the Zillow Home Value Index. Zillow also reported a median list price of $235,083 for July 2026. The Zillow methodology differs from the Census ACS home-value measure, so these figures should not be combined with the historical ACS series above.
Transportation & Access
State Highway 567 is the roadway associated with the property’s address and provides a direct connection toward Liberty. Mississippi Department of Transportation mapping for Liberty identifies MS 567 together with area routes including Highway 24, MS 48, MS 569, and MS 584.
MS 567 extends from MS 24 near Liberty toward the US 98 corridor near Bude, providing regional road access through the surrounding rural area. The property is best suited to vehicle-based transportation; no property-specific public-transit service is established by the available sources.
Shopping & Everyday Services
Everyday services are available within Liberty, including local grocery and convenience options, pharmacies, restaurants, and general merchandise. Blalock’s Food Center is listed on North Old Jackson Road, while Dollar General operates a location on Mississippi Highway 24. Liberty Drug Store provides pharmacy services from its East Main Street location.
Additional larger-scale retail, grocery, pharmacy, and service options are available in surrounding communities such as McComb.
Parks & Recreation
Outdoor recreation is a notable part of the surrounding region. The Homochitto National Forest covers approximately 189,000 acres across several southwest Mississippi counties, including Amite County, with forest, wildlife, river, and recreation resources.
Okhissa Lake Recreation Area provides access to a 1,075-acre lake with boating and fishing opportunities, along with a boat ramp, parking, gazebo, and restrooms. The recreation area is located near Meadville.
Utilities & Connectivity
The property itself has electricity, propane, community water, and septic service. Area-level connectivity data provides additional context: the U.S. Census Bureau reports that 69.5% of households in Amite County had a broadband Internet subscription during 2020–2024.
AT&T currently advertises internet service options for the Liberty area, including availability checks for specific addresses. Internet availability and technology type can vary by property location, so service should be confirmed directly at the property address before purchase.
Development & Planning
A documented transportation-related project in Amite County is a bridge replacement project on Robertson Road across Brushy Creek, together with a bank-restabilization project near the same site. Mississippi House Bill 501, introduced during the 2026 legislative session, proposed a $1,000,000 appropriation to assist with completing the project during fiscal year 2027.
The project is a county transportation and infrastructure matter and is separate from the property itself. Its legislative funding status should not be interpreted as a prediction of future property values or neighborhood development.
