Carrollton town, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Carrollton town is a very small community in Alabama, with 892 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #341 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 31.8 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 Carrollton town earn a median of $29,957 a year, 61.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 46% 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 15.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Carrollton town is valued at $142,000, 53.2% below the national figure and 10% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 59.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 892 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Carrollton town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Carrollton 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.
