Billingsley, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Billingsley town is a very small community in Alabama, with 71 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #567 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 4% of them. The median age here is 64.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Billingsley town earn a median of $54,375 a year, 30.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 16.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Billingsley town is valued at $123,200, 59.4% below the national figure and 22% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 67.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 64.9 puts Billingsley town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 71 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Billingsley town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Billingsley town 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.
