Dozier, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Dozier town is a very small community in Alabama, with 410 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #442 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 32.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Dozier town earn a median of $45,882 a year, 41.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 17.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dozier town is valued at $83,800, 72.4% below the national figure and 47% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $606 a month, 56.9% below the national figure, or roughly $7,272 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% 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 1.8×, 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. 21.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
