Fredonia, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Fredonia CDP is a very small community in Alabama, with 246 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #491 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 19.5 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 Fredonia CDP earn a median of $50,294 a year, 36% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 64.6% 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 Fredonia CDP is valued at $225,000, 25.8% below the national figure and 42% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 19.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 246 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fredonia CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fredonia CDP 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.
