As of the 2010 census, the population was 7,726,[1] making it the third-least populous county in Mississippi.

Within the United States, in 2009 rural Jefferson County had the highest percentage of African-Americans of any county. It was the fourth-poorest county in the nation.[4] GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|527|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|520|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|7.3|sqmi}} (1.4%) is water.[5] Major highways
