Kiln CDP, MS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kiln CDP is a small town in Mississippi, with 2,454 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #108 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 44.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Kiln CDP earn a median of $70,708 a year, 10% below the national figure of $78,538 and 60% 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kiln CDP is valued at $150,500, 50.4% below the national figure and 24% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,430 a month, 1.7% above the national figure, or roughly $17,160 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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 2.1×, 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. 92.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
