Mississippi Valley State University, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Mississippi Valley State University CDP is a very small community in Mississippi, with 750 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #228 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 21.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Mississippi Valley State University CDP earn a median of $73,242 a year, 6.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 66% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mississippi Valley State University CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $828 a month, 41.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,936 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 21.2 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 750 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mississippi Valley State University CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Mississippi Valley State University CDP 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.
