Cary, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Cary town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 370 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #297 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 26.3 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 Cary town earn a median of $46,250 a year, 41.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% above the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 40.8% 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 Cary town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 62.1% 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.

A median age of 26.3 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 370 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cary town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Cary town 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.
