Loachapoka, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Loachapoka town is a very small community in Alabama, with 218 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #505 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 14% of them. The median age here is 37 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 Loachapoka town earn a median of $47,250 a year, 39.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% 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 14.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Loachapoka town is valued at $183,000, 39.7% below the national figure and 16% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $933 a month, 33.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,196 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 48% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
