Ider town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ider town is a very small community in Alabama, with 871 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #345 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 44.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Ider town earn a median of $42,500 a year, 45.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% below 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 23.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ider town is valued at $150,800, 50.3% below the national figure and 5% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 871 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Ider town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Ider town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
