Argo, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Argo town is a small town in Alabama, with 4,456 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 32.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Argo town earn a median of $107,818 a year, 37.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 94% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 1.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Argo town is valued at $249,700, 17.7% below the national figure and 58% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,103 a month, 49.6% above the national figure, or roughly $25,236 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 91.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
