Mississippi by the numbers

Mississippi's largest profiled market is Jackson city at 149,827 residents, while the median Mississippi city on LocalVein has a population of 2,837. About 92% of the Mississippi cities we've indexed sit below 25,000 residents — the exurb tier. Large metros and small towns sit on the same list because they produce different agency economics — higher deal density in the metros, lower competition per capita in the exurbs.

Median household income across Mississippi's profiled cities sits at $44K, with Mooreville CDP topping the ranking at $144K and Goodman town anchoring the other end at $15K — roughly a 10× spread. The same vertical will have different close rates on the high-income end versus the low-income end; agencies that sort by income before dialing save hours.

Across the 196 Mississippi cities in this table, the median Market Opportunity Score is 28 out of 100, and Cleary CDP currently leads at 47. About 0% of Mississippi's profiled cities score ≥70 — the tier where agencies report the highest first-touch close rates. Agencies new to Mississippi typically warm up on the top three cities before expanding down the table, because the signal-to-noise is highest there.
