Caledonia town, MS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Caledonia town is a small town in Mississippi, with 1,283 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #177 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 31.9 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 Caledonia town earn a median of $81,741 a year, 4.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 85% 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 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Caledonia town is valued at $175,000, 42.3% below the national figure and 44% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,008 a month, 28.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% 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 2.1×, 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. 59.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
