Hattiesburg, MS Apartment Market & Multifamily Brokerage
Forrest County, MS
Hattiesburg is the Pine Belt's largest market — 48,619 residents, 121 tracked properties, and 8,775 units, giving it one of the highest property counts relative to population of any city in our coverage area.
At 180.5 units per 1,000 residents, this market runs well above average density — multifamily is a real, structural part of how this city houses itself, not a marginal share.
Average asking rent runs $934/unit — soft relative to the broader footprint. With a large, stable institutional renter base anchoring demand, well-run product has room to push rent before it competes with new supply.
USM alone drives an estimated $853 million in economic impact and supports 6,745 jobs within the Hattiesburg metro — a steady institutional anchor most owners don't factor in.
