Collinsville town, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Collinsville town is a small town in Alabama, with 1,835 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #236 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 Collinsville town earn a median of $31,411 a year, 60% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 28.4% 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 Collinsville town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $340 a month, 75.8% below the national figure, or roughly $4,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 56.2% 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.
The Census withheld home value for Collinsville 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.
