Byram city, MS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Byram city is a mid-size town in Mississippi, with 12,847 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #31 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 37.6 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 Byram city earn a median of $74,103 a year, 5.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 68% 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 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Byram city is valued at $177,200, 41.6% below the national figure and 46% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,318 a month, 6.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 2.4×, 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. 79.9% 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.
