Mooreville CDP, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mooreville CDP is a small town in Mississippi, with 2,052 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #124 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 19.9 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 Mooreville CDP earn a median of $143,681 a year, 82.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 225% 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mooreville CDP is valued at $175,100, 42.3% below the national figure and 44% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,102 a month, 21.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,224 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.2% 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 1.2×, 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. 74.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 19.9 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.
