Huguley CDP, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Huguley CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 2,944 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #172 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 48 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Huguley CDP earn a median of $43,736 a year, 44.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Huguley CDP is valued at $127,100, 58.1% below the national figure and 20% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $840 a month, 40.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.9% 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.
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.
