Biloxi city, MS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Biloxi city is a small city in Mississippi, with 49,011 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #4 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 36.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Biloxi city earn a median of $55,958 a year, 28.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% above 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 15.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Biloxi city is valued at $203,200, 33% below the national figure and 68% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,051 a month, 25.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 48.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
