Lula’s town government spent $51,000 on day-to-day services in the year to September 30, 2022, about $212 per resident. These are Census Bureau estimates: Lula didn’t report its figures, so this page shows them without comparisons.
What stands out about how Lula is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Coahoma County School District
Lula’s K–12 school district, shared with Coahoma, Friars Point, Jonestown, Lyon, Clarksdale. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $16,776 per pupil, $6,516 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Mississippi districts overall: 33% local, 45% state, 23% federal.

How Town Hall compares budgets →The typical homeowner pays $473 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.64% of the home’s value, vs 0.72% across Mississippi.

The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Lula’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
