Mount Olive (Jefferson Co.), AL population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Olive CDP (Jefferson County) is a small town in Alabama, with 3,449 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #154 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 42.9 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 Mount Olive CDP (Jefferson County) earn a median of $84,120 a year, 7.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 51% above the $55,687 median for the 322 Alabama cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Olive CDP (Jefferson County) is valued at $190,400, 37.2% below the national figure and 20% above the $158,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,022 a month, 27.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,264 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 93% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
