Lamar lands in the national county income distribution as above-median household income on smaller county footing (FIPS 28073, 3 ZIPs, combined population 59,463). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.

Above-median income with few ZIPs: treat the top code (39402) as the primary ACS record and this county page as the FIPS bridge. Intra-county contrast is limited by construction.

Population clears twenty-five thousand even with few ZIPs - density can still swing hard inside the short list. Compare the top two rows by population before treating FIPS 28073 averages as uniform.

Within Mississippi, Madison is the closest lower-income county and Lee the closest higher-income county by average ZIP household income. Their 5 and 8 ZIP footprints are the immediate statewide comparison set for Lamar. Use those locations as statewide context before treating the county average as a local-market answer.
