Graysville city, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Graysville city is a small town in Alabama, with 2,600 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #193 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 43.1 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 Graysville city earn a median of $61,250 a year, 22% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Graysville city is valued at $118,900, 60.8% below the national figure and 25% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,049 a month, 25.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,588 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, 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. 66.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
