Webb, MS population, income and ZIP codes

Webb town is a very small community in Mississippi, with 422 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #286 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Webb town earn a median of $24,389 a year, 68.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% below the $44,178 median for the 191 Mississippi cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Webb town is valued at $73,900, 75.6% below the national figure and 39% below the $121,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $646 a month, 54.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,752 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.8% 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.

Webb town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 31.8% of median income while homes cost only 3× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 422 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Webb 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.
