Tunica County, MS Property Records & Statistics
Tunica County has a median rent of $796.50, higher than the Mississippi median of $725.50 but below the national figure of $840.25. Renting is far more common here than in most places: renter-occupied housing accounts for 36.1% of occupied homes, compared with 23.88% in the state and 21.81% nationally.
The median home value is $156,600, well above the state's $102,350 and closer to, though still under, the national median of $173,750. Property taxes remain light. The county's median rate of 0.48% is lower than the state rate of 0.73% and the national rate of 0.74%, which softens the cost of owning a higher-priced home.
Income and employment tell a more difficult story. Median household income is $39,102, below both the state median of $44,600 and the national median of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 4.05% is higher than the state's 3.54% and the national 2.87%.
In short, Tunica County combines above-average housing costs for Mississippi with lower incomes and higher unemployment, a large rental market, and low property tax rates. That mix helps explain why so many households rent rather than buy.
