Kinsey town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kinsey town is a small town in Alabama, with 2,175 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #217 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 34.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Kinsey town earn a median of $51,042 a year, 35% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kinsey town is valued at $114,800, 62.2% below the national figure and 27% below 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 22.6% 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 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 76.3% 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.

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.
