Big Creek, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Big Creek village is a very small community in Mississippi, with 119 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #387 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 47.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Big Creek village earn a median of $41,250 a year, 47.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 22.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Big Creek village is valued at $79,400, 73.8% below the national figure and 35% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 78.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 119 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Big Creek village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Big Creek village because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
