Harvest, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Harvest CDP is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 6,624 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 83% 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 Harvest CDP earn a median of $99,542 a year, 26.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 79% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Harvest CDP is valued at $243,900, 19.6% below the national figure and 54% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,233 a month, 12.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,796 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.1% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
