ZIP code 39201

ZIP 39201 is a very small community in Hinds County, Mississippi, with 775 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #341 of 427 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 27.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 39201 earn a median of $77,946 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538. 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 9.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 39201 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,341 a month, 4.6% below the national figure, or roughly $16,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

A median age of 27.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 775 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 39201 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for ZIP 39201 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.

ZIP 39201 is tabulated inside Hinds County, Mississippi, one of 21 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 427 across Mississippi. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 39201 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 39201 reports a median household income of $77,946, 68% above the $46,425 county median, and 58% above the $49,375 typical MS ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of not published. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,341 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 39201 carries 8% at the register, assembled from the Jackson jurisdiction stack: the Mississippi state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 39201 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 39201 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
