Marbury CDP, AL in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Marbury CDP is a small town in Alabama, with 1,609 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #254 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 35.1 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 Marbury CDP earn a median of $76,367 a year, 2.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% above 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 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Marbury CDP is valued at $211,100, 30.4% below the national figure and 33% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 96.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
The Census withheld gross rent for Marbury CDP 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.
