What’s local to Columbus Air Force Base
There are no programs run by Columbus Air Force Base itself. A Columbus Air Force Base buyer uses Lowndes County’s programs, plus the statewide and federal ones above — all of which are open to them.
The closest city that runs its own program is Jackson, about 136 miles away. City programs usually require the home to be inside that city’s limits — worth checking if you’re still choosing where to buy.
HUD puts the 2026 area median income for Lowndes County at $75,500 for a four-person household. 14 of the programs listed here set an income limit as a percentage of that figure, which is why the same program admits a different income in a different county. Published limits for Mississippi →
