Brantleyville, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Brantleyville CDP is a very small community in Alabama, with 720 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #374 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Brantleyville CDP earn a median of $41,000 a year, 47.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Brantleyville CDP is valued at $42,900, 85.9% below the national figure and 73% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,057 a month, 24.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,684 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1×, 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. 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Brantleyville CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 30.9% of median income while homes cost only 1× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 720 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Brantleyville CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
