Coats Bend CDP, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Coats Bend CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 1,429 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #275 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 34.2 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 Coats Bend CDP earn a median of $52,089 a year, 33.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 25.8% 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 Coats Bend CDP is valued at $147,100, 51.5% below the national figure and 7% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.9% 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 Coats Bend 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.
