Holtville CDP, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Holtville CDP is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 5,700 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Holtville CDP earn a median of $73,250 a year, 6.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Holtville CDP is valued at $247,500, 18.4% below the national figure and 56% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $961 a month, 31.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,532 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
