Pachuta, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Pachuta town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 263 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #332 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Pachuta town earn a median of $32,361 a year, 58.8% 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 20.5% 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 Pachuta town is valued at $85,500, 71.8% below the national figure and 30% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $306 a month, 78.2% below the national figure, or roughly $3,672 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.3% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.7% 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.

With 263 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Pachuta town against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
