Hurtsboro, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Hurtsboro town is a very small community in Alabama, with 568 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #403 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 27.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Hurtsboro town earn a median of $35,781 a year, 54.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% 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 11.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hurtsboro town is valued at $113,500, 62.6% below the national figure and 28% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $416 a month, 70.4% below the national figure, or roughly $4,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 27.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 568 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hurtsboro town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
