Ballplay, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Ballplay CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 1,149 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #304 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Ballplay CDP earn a median of $60,825 a year, 22.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ballplay CDP is valued at $152,800, 49.6% below the national figure and 3% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Ballplay CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
