Gulf Park Estates CDP, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Gulf Park Estates CDP is a mid-size town in Mississippi, with 6,517 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #58 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 42.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Gulf Park Estates CDP earn a median of $62,100 a year, 20.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Gulf Park Estates CDP is valued at $196,800, 35.1% below the national figure and 62% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,389 a month, 1.2% below the national figure, or roughly $16,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.8% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
