Darling CDP, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Darling CDP is a very small community in Mississippi, with 139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #380 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 28 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 Darling CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 26.6% 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 Darling CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 50% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
A median age of 28 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 139 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Darling CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Darling CDP 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.
