Mississippi’s 82 counties, by the numbers

Every county’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:

  • Concentrated. Half of Mississippi’s 2,939,690 residents live in just 13 of 82 counties, and the five largest hold 31.5% of the total. Census PEP 2023
  • Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 2.9×, and the 10 highest-income counties average 12.8% in poverty against 33.8% for the 10 lowest. Census SAIPE 2023
  • Mostly small. Half of Mississippi’s counties have fewer than 21,273 residents, and half report a median household income below $48,950 — a few metros lift the statewide totals well above both. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
  • Lopsided density. Only 22 of 82 counties are denser than Mississippi’s statewide average of 63 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER
