Crenshaw, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Crenshaw town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 675 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #239 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Crenshaw town earn a median of $36,542 a year, 53.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 32.9% 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 Crenshaw town is valued at $81,900, 73% below the national figure and 32% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $824 a month, 41.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,888 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.1% 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 2.2×, 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. 55.4% 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.
