Daviston town, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Daviston town is a very small community in Alabama, with 199 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #512 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 41.3 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 Daviston town earn a median of $66,000 a year, 16% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Daviston town is valued at $137,500, 54.7% below the national figure and 13% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 89.7% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 199 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Daviston town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Daviston 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.
