Center Point city, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Center Point city is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 16,125 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #43 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Center Point city earn a median of $52,401 a year, 33.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below 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 18.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Center Point city is valued at $130,200, 57.1% below the national figure and 18% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,161 a month, 17.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,932 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 56.4% 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.
