Minor, AL population, income and ZIP codes

Minor CDP is a very small community in Alabama, with 911 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #333 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 32.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Minor CDP earn a median of $32,065 a year, 59.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Minor CDP is valued at $79,900, 73.7% below the national figure and 49% below the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,157 a month, 17.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 43.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.6% 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.

Minor CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 43.3% of median income while homes cost only 2.5× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 911 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Minor CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
