Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Mississippi

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median monthly rents across Mississippi are predominantly concentrated in the $500–$750 range, with the darkest purple tones dominating rural areas of the Delta region and portions of the southwest, reflecting some of the lowest rental costs in the nation. Notable exceptions include a distinct high-rent cluster near the northern border—likely the DeSoto County suburbs of Memphis—where at least one zip code reaches the $2,500 threshold, along with moderately elevated rents in the Jackson metropolitan area and scattered pockets near Hattiesburg and the Gulf Coast. The stark contrast between the consistently low-rent Delta corridor running along the western edge and the higher values in suburban and university-adjacent zip codes underscores the deep economic stratification across the state's geography.
