Courtland, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Courtland town is a very small community in Alabama, with 777 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #363 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 42.2 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 Courtland town earn a median of $41,406 a year, 47.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 34.6% 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 Courtland town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $625 a month, 55.5% below the national figure, or roughly $7,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 72.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 777 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Courtland town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Courtland 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.
