Coosada town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Coosada town is a small town in Alabama, with 1,060 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #315 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 47.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Coosada town earn a median of $65,614 a year, 16.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Coosada town is valued at $176,200, 41.9% below the national figure and 11% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $793 a month, 43.6% below the national figure, or roughly $9,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.1% 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.
