Bentonia, Mississippi: commercial real estate data.
Bentonia is a Census town of 210 people across 1.42 square miles of land, in Yazoo County. 35.3 percent of occupied homes are owned, and the SBA record carries 1 7(a) approvals to borrowers here worth $15,000 since FY2020.

This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Bentonia through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 210 with a margin of error of plus or minus 107, which is 51.0 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.
