Braxton, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Braxton village is a very small community in Mississippi, with 245 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #338 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 31.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Braxton village earn a median of $57,292 a year, 27.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 42.4% 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 Braxton village is valued at $162,500, 46.4% below the national figure and 34% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 245 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Braxton village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Braxton 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.
