Hazel Green, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Hazel Green CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 3,765 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 36.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Hazel Green CDP earn a median of $90,654 a year, 15.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 63% 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hazel Green CDP is valued at $179,500, 40.8% below the national figure and 13% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,051 a month, 25.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.9% 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×, 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. 81.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
