Holly Springs, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Holly Springs city is a mid-size town in Mississippi, with 6,861 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #56 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 87% 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 Holly Springs city earn a median of $47,344 a year, 39.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% above 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 24.4% 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 Holly Springs city is valued at $110,900, 63.4% below the national figure and 9% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $754 a month, 46.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,048 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
