Ellisville, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Ellisville city is a small town in Mississippi, with 4,593 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #75 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 32.5 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 Ellisville city earn a median of $32,853 a year, 58.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 34.6% 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 Ellisville city is valued at $97,000, 68% below the national figure and 20% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $797 a month, 43.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,564 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.1% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 49.5% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
