Sherman, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Sherman town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 515 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #267 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 49.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sherman town earn a median of $57,969 a year, 26.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sherman town is valued at $151,900, 49.9% below the national figure and 25% above the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $679 a month, 51.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,148 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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. 64.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 515 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Sherman town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
