Shuqualak town, MS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Shuqualak town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 265 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 39 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 Shuqualak town earn a median of $14,875 a year, 81.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 66% below the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 51.3% 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 Shuqualak town is valued at $71,400, 76.5% below the national figure and 41% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 58.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 265 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Shuqualak town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Shuqualak 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.
