Sumrall, MS (ZIP 39482) sits in Lamar County within the Hattiesburg metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 40.1%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 9 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,116. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $74,695, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $34,966 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $44,276 per worker, roughly 32% below the US average. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 47 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1969 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 64.4" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 38.0% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Mississippi levies a flat state income tax (top rate 4.40%); a household at the local median AGI of $74,695 would pay roughly $1,972/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Forrest County, MS (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $65,092, fair market rent of $1,030 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $259,475, up 3.0% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
