Oakland town, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Oakland town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 399 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #290 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 44.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Oakland town earn a median of $32,045 a year, 59.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Oakland town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $400 a month, 71.6% below the national figure, or roughly $4,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 65.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld home value for Oakland 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.
