Moody city, AL in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Moody city is a mid-size town in Alabama, with 13,378 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #57 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 40.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Moody city earn a median of $86,389 a year, 10% above the national figure of $78,538 and 55% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 9.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
