Louise town, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Louise town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 155 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #371 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Louise town earn a median of $21,447 a year, 72.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 51% 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 52.9% 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 Louise town is valued at $44,700, 85.3% below the national figure and 63% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 93.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 155 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Louise town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Louise town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
