What these numbers say together
Gulfport, MS (ZIP 39501) sits in Harrison County within the Gulfport-Biloxi 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 49.3%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $3,975. 44% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $48,164 per worker, roughly 26% below the US average. Hancock Whitney Bank holds 62% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 81th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 36 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 68.2" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 11,925 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 33.7% 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 $38,296 would pay roughly $1,011/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Jackson 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 $30,970, fair market rent of $1,080 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $115,002, down 2.6% 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.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,080/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 42% of median household income ($30,970, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($30,970, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 44.8% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
- As a predominantly renter community (63% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 5 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.2%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
