Mount Olive, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Olive town is a small town in Mississippi, with 1,268 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #179 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 33.4 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 Mount Olive town earn a median of not published a year. 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 22.5% 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 Mount Olive town is valued at $57,100, 81.2% below the national figure and 53% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $646 a month, 54.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,752 across a full year. 71.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

The Census withheld household income for Mount Olive 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.
