Jacksons' Gap, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Jacksons' Gap town is a very small community in Alabama, with 554 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #408 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 43.6 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.

Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area.
