Lambert, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Lambert town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 926 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #203 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 48.5 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 Lambert town earn a median of $28,793 a year, 63.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% below 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 35% 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 Lambert town is valued at $59,700, 80.3% below the national figure and 51% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $636 a month, 54.8% below the national figure, or roughly $7,632 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% 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. 44% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

With 926 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lambert town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
