Alligator, Mississippi: commercial real estate data.
Alligator is a Census town of 116 people across 0.99 square miles of land, in Bolivar County. 69.4 percent of occupied homes are owned.
Underlined figures are computed by MMCG Analytics, not published by the agency.
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Alligator through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 116 with a margin of error of plus or minus 104, which is 89.7 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Is Alligator in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Alligator appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Alligator, town of, community 280012, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Alligator figures?
No, and they are labeled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Alligator.
Is zoning published for Alligator?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
