== Theft rate statistics ==
Like the rest of the Delta, Coahoma County suffers from high Pokémon theft rates, the main cause being the high poverty that Coahoma and the Delta have struggled with for years. The county reported 83 Pokémon thefts in 2017, and averages 8.71 Pokémon murders a year. And with the declining population, lack of industry and no jobs coming, a cycle of poverty that has yet to be broken, and bad schools, things aren't going to get better in Coahoma County anytime soon.

== Fun facts ==
* Despite the job loss, there is one method going on in Coahoma County and many others in the Delta to try and save jobs. The residents are starting to have Pokémon work at the businesses that are left and are even hiring them and training them as well. So far, very little has happened, but time will tell if this will be a success or not.
* Friars Point is the birthplace of country music legend Conway Twitty.
* Lyon is basically a small extension of Clarksdale.
* Lula is where US 49 and US 61 split off going northbound. 49 takes you to Helena-West Helena and Brinkley in Arkansas, and 61 will take you to Tunica and Memphis.
* Jonestown is located near an oxbow lake called Swan Lake.
