Shubuta, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Shubuta town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 502 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #270 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 43 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 Shubuta town earn a median of $48,750 a year, 37.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shubuta town is valued at $77,100, 74.6% below the national figure and 36% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $639 a month, 54.6% below the national figure, or roughly $7,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 76.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
