Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Mississippi

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Mississippi Delta region along the western edge of the state displays a pronounced concentration of low-income zip codes, with median household incomes frequently below $30,000, reflecting the persistent economic challenges of this historically impoverished agricultural corridor. Higher-income zip codes cluster around the Jackson metropolitan area—particularly its northern suburbs like Madison and Ridgeland—and in the DeSoto County suburbs south of Memphis, where median incomes reach above $80,000 and occasionally exceed $100,000. The northeastern corner of the state, anchored by the Tupelo area, shows moderately elevated incomes compared to the Delta and rural southern regions, while the Gulf Coast exhibits a mixed but generally moderate income pattern with pockets of relative affluence.
