Enterprise city, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Enterprise city is a small city in Alabama, with 28,990 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 36.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Enterprise city earn a median of $68,306 a year, 13% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 17.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Enterprise city is valued at $198,500, 34.6% below the national figure and 25% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,058 a month, 24.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,696 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
