Midway town, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Midway town is a very small community in Alabama, with 633 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #392 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 39.8 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 Midway town earn a median of $43,750 a year, 44.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Midway town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $669 a month, 52.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 57.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 home value for Midway 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.
