Kossuth, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Kossuth village is a very small community in Mississippi, with 154 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #372 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 46.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Kossuth village earn a median of $100,625 a year, 28.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 128% above the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 4.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kossuth village is valued at $162,500, 46.4% below the national figure and 34% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,025 a month, 27.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,300 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.2% 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 1.6×, 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. 80.4% 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. 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.
