Booneville city, MS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Booneville city is a mid-size town in Mississippi, with 9,060 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #46 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Booneville city earn a median of $50,112 a year, 36.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% above the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Booneville city is valued at $123,500, 59.3% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $615 a month, 56.3% below the national figure, or roughly $7,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
