Madison city, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Madison city is a small city in Mississippi, with 27,775 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #10 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 40.8 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 Madison city earn a median of $120,918 a year, 54% above the national figure of $78,538 and 174% above the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Madison city is valued at $334,700, 10.3% above the national figure and 176% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,798 a month, 27.9% above the national figure, or roughly $21,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 93.4% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
