Carrollton town, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Carrollton town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 423 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #285 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Carrollton town earn a median of $83,523 a year, 6.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 89% 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 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Carrollton town is valued at $118,100, 61.1% below the national figure and 3% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,731 a month, 23.1% above the national figure, or roughly $20,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.9% 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 1.4×, 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. 49.3% 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.
