Osyka, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Osyka town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 368 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #299 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 39.5 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 Osyka town earn a median of not published a year. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 40.2% 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 Osyka town is valued at $86,000, 71.7% below the national figure and 29% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $578 a month, 58.9% below the national figure, or roughly $6,936 across a full year. 52.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld household income for Osyka 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.
