Seminary town, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Seminary town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 230 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #342 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Seminary town earn a median of $55,000 a year, 30% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% above 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 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Seminary town is valued at $161,300, 46.8% below the national figure and 33% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78% 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.
With 230 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Seminary town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Seminary 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.
